A piece or 2 of rock with algae won't be enought. Sea hares are lawnmowers and will have that done in one day. He will starve, so I would recomment lending him or selling him to someone else that needs its services.

I agree, but my idea was to seed my refugium and grow enough algae to support her. There are no herbivores in my refugium.

I can hold your seahare in my "seahorse" tank for a while until you can get enough algae growing. I have some hair algae in there but the clean up crew is slowly working away. Probably enough to keep it alive for a week or so.

Not sure how quickly hair algae will grow in your refugium to keep a hungry seahare fed.

it grows fast enough in my display....lol

I can rent him from you if you like...for $$?

my HA is receding now but I would definitely benefit from a week or so of his services.

I used to hand feed mine nori when the hair algea crop was low.

Yeah I did try that and although she eats some cheato and some nori, it seems like the nori is too tough for her...
