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.

OA has a BEAUTY right now. YOu can come by and drop your LED fixture off on your way. I'll hold on to it, take good care of it.

Can't blame a man for trying!! ;)

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.
