This is what a sea hare looks like. It took a while before he got himself into a photographable position. There are two of them in the tank. The really surprising thing is how difficult they are to find when they aren't actively eating. They seem to have a real talent for hiding. This is the larger of the two.

I took a few shots today because I realized that my coral was growing, yet I had no photos to refer to. For no reason, here you go.

Nice shots!
I hope the seahare works out for you. Are you seeing a lot of cleaning action from your urchins? |

Two seahares...and so far I'm impressed by the job they are doing. While I like the urchins, I would not say that they are very effective at eating hair algae. I think the urchins prefer coraline algae.

Wow, that is exactly the opposite of my tank. I have a seahare and it barely makes a dent in my GHA, while my urchin on the other hand goes to town.
I always look forwards to your tank updates! |

The sea spider began to fly around the tank. It seemed to be doing this on purpose as it would deliberately let go of a particular perch....fly around...then fold it's legs and drop to another perch.
It did this continuously for about a week before disappearing. I haven't seen it in months and I assume it is gone. The Live Rock supplier supports the observation that he sees the spiders on his dives in the spring, then they are gone. I may have witnessed the method by which they leave the area. The coral it lived on has had some die back as it fought hair algae. It's still alive and I hope it will return to it's former glory someday.
