I'd like to rent a Sea Hare if anyone has one.

I do, but he's a slow mover...not sure how long it would take him to get there :mrgreen:

Pretty easy, so far. Except for the time when his head got sucked into the intake of my Seio M1500 :surprise:
I only have two snails and one hermit crab in a 50G, so he takes care of the rest. Quite nicely, I might add.
My last one just died of Seio poisoning, but did a great job at keeping algae away.
If you don't have any algae after a while, you're better off to give the seahare away because they don't fast very long before dying. :)

I'll keep my eyes open, J&L had one not that long ago. Now that my tank is back up good ol' Bryopsis has come back for a visit. Die green devil die. I've ordered a phosban reactor package today. This stuff is laughing at my 40w UV.

Sea hare's are amazing at cleaning tanks. They just really know how to find those damn Seio's.

Get a smaller one if you can. They're like bulldozers. My palys and zoas don't like him very much!

I found a nice one @ J&L today & picked up a slew of snails to start off the new clean up crew. Threw on a Phosban reactor as well. War is on!

Wow. This slug is amazing! It's cutting a lawnmower like path through my Bryopsis, he's chowing down big time! What a great critter.
