Sea hare for algae

[Mburns11]

Ok, so I have a very cute sea hare from LFP but I’m unsure if he is eating and getting the nutrients he needs. He moves all day but I cannot see a considerable loose in this green algae.
The tank is several years old, the water is in check, low in mag but I’m dosing. I’ve tried to feed him purple nori. He seems ok but I’m concerned bc I’ve never had one and I don’t want to kill him.
Im feeding more for the fish and plants since I cannot guarantee he is eating. So far, no algae outbreak. I just want verification I’m not going to kill this sea hare.

You should see waste coming from the holes in the top when they are eating.

I am also unsure if it will eat that type of algae. You can supplement with nori.

He is so active and everywhere! I cleaned all that off the rocks, did a partial, and got some nori, everyone is happy!

Theyre not big on GHA but it should be eating some of it

sea hare eat GHA and cyano bacteria as well and many many types of algae. if you have no algae you need to give it to someone otherwise he will disappear.
