I once had a seahorse but it was about 10 years ago. Was only able to keep it for a couple years so marginally successful at best. With this said my feedback may not be accurate.

Yes you can have other fish with your seahorse. However know that seahorses are grazers and not at all aggressive. They are constantly on the hunt for food but slow to react when they see something to eat. It is not uncommon for other fish to eat all the food before they get any. Sea horses do best in a tank with lots of macro algae for pods to breed and hide and slow current. A good sea horse tank is not optimized for most corals. This is all I can offer you at this time but it is a start and perhaps others will join in with some guidance to what makes a good home for them

Pipe fish are great tank mates for sea horses

I once heard that Jawfish made good tankmates, they're quite endearing.
