I have recently had a spike in my phosphates & now have a bloom of hair algae. I have had for months now, a tube anemone and it's grown nicely, however, things that get too close get stung. Yesterday I picked up a sea hare from my local lfs & noticed last night there is a nice clump of hair algae very very close to the tube anemone. What precautions should I take to protect the sea hare from getting stung when it gets close to the tube? Or will the sea hare even be bothered by the tube? Wondering if all will be well like it is...OR...should I intervene and how?
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

It should be fine, mine has been stung by my lta before and he just crawled away

Thank you, not knowing how potent the sting of the tube is or how it might affect the hare (are they-aka-thick skinned) I wanted to ask.

Keep your eye out, because I don't know how much worse a tube nem is vs an lta, but yea. My slug bumps into it frequently and just turns around
