So I picked up a Sea Hare at the LFS 4-5 days ago and it is has earned the gold medal in decimating my GHA on the lower level of rocks in my tank. However, I'm wondering if I'm expecting to much outta him to reach the upper levels of my rocks to mow down the GHA? I placed him up on what I'd say is 60% of the way up and just watched him for about 3-4 minutes before he slid off the edge and fell back to the sand. From my view, the hare would have to be a gymnast to reach the upper levels of the rocks. Should I anticipate him figuring out how to get up there? It's not a tall tank 11-13 inches max I'm guesstimating looking at it from across the living room but to the hare is that like Mt. Everest? I'll post some pics of my scape.
He did a good job on the rock on the right and the shelf in the middle. Its the taller rock on the left that I'm wondering if he can get up to? He'd also have to deal with the powerhead on that route
Next two photos are the routes he'd have to take to get to the upper parts of the rocks
What do you think...Do I need to put an escalator in the tank for the Hare or will he figure out how to get up there?
