Mermaid Cup Algae
Any suggestions on the best way to deal with Mermaid Cups? I have been manually removing as much as I can with forceps and a steady hand, but Its a very temporary fix at best.
I purchased a Sea Hare a few weeks back to try and fend off some hair algae that has started to grow out of my sand bed. That proved useless, as I found him dead in the corner 4 days after I got him... Presumably of starvation as I noticed he hadn't eaten any algae at all! :S I assume I got him out on time as nothing else died in my tank (I've been told they can go toxic when they die).
Do you think maybe I just got a lazy and/or mentally retarded Sea Hare? Are Sea Hares known to eat Mermaid Cups? Is there perhaps another critter I should try and purchase? Any help is appreciated!
