I culture amphipods in my fuge. That way if I have a pony not eating for any reason I can tempt them with pods. I can shake out 20 or so easily at any time. I had tried an amphipod culture in a separate tank but I could not get large enough densities to even feed my 3 erectus for a week. They just eat way too many.
I feed ghost shrimp when I go on vacation. I have a guy who sends young ones and my ponies have no trouble eating them at all. Like you I feel safer feeding live shrimp when someone inexperienced is feeding my seahorses.
