I'm considering a sea hare as a quick fix for my hair algae problem. I have done much manual removal and running a phosphate reactor due to the elevated phosphates captured in the tank and hair algae with it growing back quite quickly. Once it has devoured all the algae I plan to re-home it or supplement its diet as it is a very interesting creature. I am moderately concerned about other tank inhabitants bothering it. I have a fairly aggressive flame angel who has been known to nip at snails when exposed, would it pose a threat to a sea hare? My other concern is that since my tank is dense with soft and hard corals will the sea hare be stung (I've heard chalices are sometimes deadly) or unable to reach hair algae around the tank because of the amount of corals? I have carbon already being used In the tank in case of inking or toxin release and am ready for a large water change. Replies greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Nigel
