Sea hare

[Ayzel1]

Hi AZFRAG!! I am adding a sea hare into my 30g cube. I have never owned one, but I trying to make my cube great again. Any info that could help me would be greatly appreciate it. I have a fire shrimp, Melanarus wrass, Picasso Clown, and (don’t call the tang police on me!) a small yellow eye kole. There is a emerald crab some snails and some snails and red legged hermits in there as well. TIA!!

They eat a ton of algae. If you dont have a ton, which might be the case in a 30g, you will have to feed it nori or have someone adpot it that has a 100+ gallon tank with alage. Even feeding it nori, it can stave to death.

 

[Ayzel1]

Yes!! That’s why I got it, to take care of my grass land themed cubed.;Happy

If it likes the stuff, you might have to re-home it in a month when that's gone.

Let us know how it goes. Would be interested in the progress. Take after sea-hare pics.

Do these guys eat hair algae?

My LFS suggested they were the fix so I added one yesterday because of a massive outbreak of hair algae. So far, so good!

I just added one today. How is the progress of others going?

I added mine a little over a week ago and now I cannot find it anywhere in my tank. It was difficult to see it on the rocks in the beginning and now it is impossible to find.

Mine hides inside my rocks....but I have been seeing him at least once each day. I can't say he's eaten much off the rocks, if anything, but he has eaten some off the back glass. A little progress I guess.

It has been several days now and it is not visible. Should I be concerned?

Not sure. Do you run carbon? If so, I wouldn't worry, even if it has died in there. If you don't, might want to put some in, just in case.

they are masters of camouflage and can go in tight spaces so I wouldn’t be too worried. Good advice above to run some fresh carbon just in case.

I use chemi-pure blue but at the same time would love to see the sea hare reappear.

No one has seen mine all weekend but I’ve been gone so hoping they just missed him
