The video works just fine. Are you talking about what the skunk cleaner shrimp is on?

Agree with above, Blue Spotted Sea Hare. Good algae eaters.

It is said so, but I have lost two (starvation), and neither inked. Ink is more under stress and I have not seen that either.

Anyone who's ever owned a seahare has probably lost it to starvation. I've known plenty of people that have lost them without issue. If you run carbon in your tank I think you're fine. I wouldn't get it unless you have a hair algae problem though.

Any tips or care requirements? I have a 20g long is that way too small for him?

That I am not sure, but they only live for roughly 1-2 years.

I agree with @ClearRain , they are mainly meant for a short term CuC addition.

FOOD SOURCE !! They need constant supply of algae (not nori seaweed). They wont eat Chaeto either.

Ive never seen them eat anything but hair algae and bryopsis if it has a taste for it.
@Billldg I always think of it as renting them lol Longest one I've seen live is when a few friends of mine passed one around to clean their GHA. It went between 3 tanks at least twice
