I do not know this gem but according to its documentation, show_for is not supposed to receive a collection as argument (@messages) but a single object. I might be wrong.

With this supposition, I would to :

<% @messages.each do |message| %>
  <%= show_for message do |s|  %>
    <%= s.attribute :subject  %>
    <%= s.attribute :message %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>
