What's up with my bunny

[Mr_Banana_Pants]

I looked at my sea hare this morning after working 24 hours at the fire house, and noticed this area on his back, not sure what it could be. Don't want to lose my buddy, any ideas?

@Mr_Banana_Pants are you referring to the hole? If so that is his poop chute.

 

[Mr_Banana_Pants]

No the white area next to the poop shoot... different color and texture

What other fish or crabs do you have in the tank. It looks like hes missing a patch of flesh.

2 clowns 6 line wrasse and a fire shrimp

I ended up pulling the fire shrimp out... part of the white area is peeling almost like a scab. Not sure if he caused it or not but I don't want to risk anything

Are you sure that's a sea hare? It looks like my cowrie when it's skin covers the shell...
But then again I'm think of lettuce nudis. So it could be totally wrong lol

I once had a sea-hare in my 65 gallon, and it was fairly quickly bullied to death by my pair of cleaner shrimp. I don't really trust shrimp around sea-hares any more . . .

Its most definitely a sea hare.

I guess thats a start. If anything id assume the shrimp could irritate it. Does a fire shrimp crawl on other things like a cleaner shrimp does?

Yes he crawls over everything. And I did see him crawl across the sea here once

Forgot to ask how long has it been like this? Did you just see it like this one morning or was it a gradual thing?
