you got any hair algae? i have a sea hare that i got a few weeks ago that cleaned my tank up in a few days now he just roams around hungry. he eats a little nori but would prefer hair algae. if anyone would like to borrow him he is all yours and he will do a wonderful job.
a few points about sea hares to consider;
- they are big! very gentle creatures with a lot of character but they might knock unsecured stuff over in accident.
- you must have protected powerheads as he is very curious and might get mangled.
- he likes to climb glass sometimes, if you have an overflow it needs to be covered so he wont go inside.
- i only have a kole tang so i don't know how other fish will react to a hare, im sure they will just ignore him as he works at night.
- tank must be cycled and stable.
if you think your tank meets these few requirements and you have some hair algae that you want to get rid of your more than welcome to come grab him till your done or you can bring some rock over and leave it with me and he will clean it up.
