I dont see ich on the seahorse, just markings.

Make sure the ric is in low light and low flow.

+1 and the ric is splitting

Thanks for the help...I figured the ric was splitting..Its the 4th time..If anyone is interested...Thanks for the help with my pony too..Have a good night everyone

Do you mean the tiny shrimp on the left?

2nd pic on the right is a toadstool. A very nice one.

I keep my Ricordea at the top under intense light, and have been having a good number of splits lately.
Flow is also debatable, mine are in moderate flow too.
I might be a maverick, but it's working.

Notice the nice polyp extension on it - that indicates one of the nice, full polyped toadstool. They always make a nice display.

I have one like that, and one without the full polyps (pictured below). While the one below is a very nice coral, the fancy polyps are a much more dramatic display.
