LF: Sea Hare (Lower Mainland)
 
Like the title says, looking for a sea hare.

I have a macro algae growing in my tank that I've finally managed to ID as Rhipidosiphon sp. I can't seem to find anything that will eat the stuff and manual removal is next to impossible. Last two things I can think of that I haven't tried are a longspine or a sea hare, and longspines are way too stabby.

So, if anybody has a sea hare they can lease me, or happens to see one around, let me know.

Also willing to take any other suggestions anyone might have.

They are both in stock at J&L and King Ed's

Thanks for the heads-up.

Cool. Glad I found this thread. Do you guys know how much they run at JL? (for the OP's benefit ;) )

They're about $20. Maybe hold off buying one though. They one I bought today never made it through acclimation.

I ended up picking one up. Drip acclimated the little guy for 3 hours! He seemed to be doing fine. He has cleaned off a few spots. He is hard to spot during the day.

If you're still looking for one in 2 months or so. I may be looking to re home him.

I think they will only eat fine hair algae. We bought one today for my mum's 29 biocube and it started eating right away. One hour acclimation.
