HELP, Sea Hare

I would just let it be they will some times burry them selves a night. as long a he doesn't shrink and start smoking you are ok. they can be very anoiying at times moving to an area that they have already gone over insted of going over a new area just let it be and do it's own thing it will get there sooner or latter. If you start moving it around it will become stressed and could die. remember to pass it on with some instruction when it is finihed with your tank.

Its fine. Thats how they poop. He was probably already eating and the white stuff was his poop.

5 hours to acclimate? Im not sure where you heard of that, I drip acclimated mine for like 30 mins and it was fine. They do stay in one spot for long periods of time as well. Im not sure of the rhyme or reason of when they will do that though, but I would say mine was more active during the night time.

I would not recommend acclimating anything over 1 hour. Temps get colder as the time gets longer.

Sea hares take about 30-45 on average without problems with us, and that is after they spent 2 days in a bag from overseas.

Give the sea hare till morning, if he doesn't move then give him a light poke. He should be soft if alive or dormant, and be rubbery if dead.

They are hard to keep at the best of times.

Reason for the seahare? I'm guessing hair algae? Try some mexican turbo snails.

I was doing the drip acclimating with a container floating in the tank so the temperature was not an issue. So I checked on him this morning, and he stil had not moved at all, and 2 of my scavenger snails had latched on to his head. So I pulled them off and put him in a floating container for a little more observation, but I am pretty sure it is game over for him.
Yeah the Sea Hare was for the hair algae, I guess some turbo snails will be my next plan of attack.
