What are your ways for supplementing Green Sea Hare's diet in your tank?

HI,

A simple question, can you share your methods for supplementing Sea Hare's diet in your tank?

I have this "little" fella in my 48G tank and I must admit I am amazed with his work so far! However, its hunger can be an issue shortly, as it cleaned most of the tank from every bit of algae it came across. I was trying to give it a bit of green algae sheet but it seems not be much interested in it. So what are your ways of feeding this hungry-hungry slug?

A nori sheet on a clip will be sufficient food for a couple of days

place the clip at the bottom of the tank? Its a bit chubby, does not fancy climbing.

You can place it in front of sea hare and put a small rubble on top to keep it. sea hare will find it.

thanks! I figured I can pierce the sheet with a plug and attach it to the bottom, it will find it alright Do you know any other options than nori? I live by the ocean, maybe I could grab him some seaweed from there?

I've failed keeping one long term so now they are used to clean then returned to the lfs. Just been my experience, I'm sure others have kept them long term and will offer advise.
