Sea Hare acclamation.

[Roy 9121]

So how would you acclimate a sea hare?

I tried one in my tank when Bryopsis was taking hold ... Normal (or maybe a little slower-than-normal) drip acclimation, followed up by temperature acclimation / float.

After introduction, he seemed to do well for about three or four days, but was often pursued by my scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp, who picked at his back incessantly.

That didn't end very well . . .

I have had them before, just to control algae. The problem is they eat everything, then have nothing to eat. So i usually wind up taking them back to the store. I have a nasty case of hydroids, and someone told me they may eat them. So I'm going to give out a try.

I'd not heard that - it'll be interesting to see what it does!
