1. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=40 There's your sea horse.
2. yes
3. Yes I have seen them in local pet stores before
4. They're delicate, and require high maintenance. But there's nothing illegal about them. You'll probably have to buy them online unless you have a local supplier that can special order.
5. Yes, it's quite possible, but of course, like all saltwater tanks, it's a lot of money, a lot of work and a lot of maintenance, all preceded by a lot of research. Please visit http://www.fishforums.com - there are a some folks on there who have seahorse tanks up and running, they'll be able to help you out,
6. yes you can own them in america! You most likely will have to get them from online like liveaquaria.com! If you have a local AQUARIUM store they might have them sometimes!
7. They can be kept in a salt water aquarium, but there are very few other salt water fish that they can be kept with. They are very shy and timid, and don't generally tolerate other fish very well. They can also be difficult to feed.
