Okay....here we go

Sea Hare.... acclimating in my tank right now. My last line of defense to cleanup turf algae before I go postal and smash my tank with an aluminum baseball bat.

Sooooooooooo....what am I to expect as far as life span? 1wk (my luck), 1mos, 3mos, 6mos, 1+ yrs? I have plenty of nooks-and-crannies with turf algae that my urchins cant reach....tangs wont touch.

I assume for what I've read these sea hares are suuuuuuuper sensitive to temp swings, SG changes and strong currents. Correct?

Tell me everything you know about your Sea Hare experience

It took me three tries before I realized that my cleaner shrimp was killing them. The sea hares all died shortly after the shrimp tried cleaning them off, it appeared that he was inadvertently injuring them while doing his job

No cleaner shrimp here....so that's a positive

That is a good thing, all of mine started off doing a great job munching up algae until they got "cleaned"
