Can you keep erectus with miniature seahorses?

I have a portioned off “refugium” in my 55 gallon tank, with all sorts of macro-algae, rotifers, microorganisms, etc in it.

Since both seahorses come from the same habitat (the gulf of Mexico) can I keep them together?

Miniatures would be wild caught and erectus would be from captive bred sources…. or is it more of an issue/problem to mix captive bred with wild caught than to mix the species?

PS: I have a great brine shrimp hatchery system going for the miniatures, and the petstore with frozen food for the erectus is just up the street :-)
