Yeah there are a few types of hermits that seem to munch on it a bit, but if a tank is infested to the point that mine is, you'd need a lot to make a difference.. hmm.. Bulk order? I need some more hermies..

Brad,

I have I big pink milli if you want. Also have some frags after the move on Sunday. Anything you need that I have is yours. Glad to hear your tank is getting back to normal.

Lee

Thanks Lee, I apreciate the offer. I think I still have most of my stuff, except for the large tri color acro. The pink milli looks stable, so good there too :biggrin:

Brad, what about a sea hare for the algae? I am wondering if it would work on my crap also..

Lee, you by chance wouldent have been one of the guys that got a frag of the purple digitata from me would you?

Steve

I was thinking the same thing, Steve... Those things are algae eating machines! Mine seems to eat all kinds of crap that no-one else will touch.

(... except for caulerpa, of course ... on that front I'm still screwed, nobody will touch that. :rolleyes: )

don't sea hares explode and kill things?

:eek: I don't know do they?

Steve

I'm a little unsure what the actual answer is. I don't think that they do.

From what I understand some species emit an inklike substance when harrassed, but I read on RC where people have had this happen without subsequent tank crashes. And not all species may do it?

I think the real risk is ... what do they eat after they have cleaned out your tank of hair algae?

In searching RC for a better answer to this question I came across a few mentions of them eating caulerpa. SCORE!! I'll let you know if mine does anything with it (he's in a different tank at the moment).
