I killed one of Red Corals sea hares!
 
No Idea how I did it :redface:

I did a 10% WC before I went to get it.

Brought the thing home and acclimated it for about 45 mins.

I floated the bag for around 20 mins and then started to add small amounts of tank water.

I checked all my water parameters and everything checked out perfect. My KH and CA are a bit low. Salinity a bit on the low side at 1.024.

Does anybody have any ideas what I might have done or what happened?? I feel pretty bad and definitely embarrassed lol

aclimation
 
seahares do better when you drip aclimate but either way they are tough to ship

Next time I would drip acclimate 1.5-2 hours, inverts are often more sensitive to changes than fish. Better luck next time :)

Don't be embarassed, it's good you are coming on here for advice!

They are certainly a finicky species, I have never kept one longer than 2 months they just disappear one day.
