Than it is likely that your sea hare starved to death rather than being killed by the LTA.

Sea hares are pretty efficient in mowing down algae real quick.
When there is only 10% left you need to start feeding them piles of nori and spirulina pellets or better yet return it to the LFS and ask them to loan the sea hare to someone who also has an algae problem. The new owner has to promise to return it in a couple of weeks.

Seems like a lot but not very much when you consider how they mow down the algae and are going 24/7.

Best bet is to return them to the lfs rather than trying to feed them as it doen't make sense adding algae to the tank, eh

Yes, it could eat one. I had a beaded anemone take down some of my large lettuce nidubranchs. It would most likely spit most of it out though.
