Does anyone have any problems keeping dragons breath- aka flame algae, with seahorses? Mine seem to rip it off with their tail from any structure I glue it to and it gets lost in my tank. Suggestions?

Dragon's tongue isn't a great one for glueing, with how slick it is, glue doesn't hold it well at all. Best way to attach it is to (gently) zip tie it to where you want to keep it, or zip tie it to a small rock and superglue the rock where you want it. The zip tie will hold it in place without putting any pressure directly on the macro, very good for delicate macros like dragon's tongue.

I put mine in the blue ocho macro, just sort of poked it there.
