Thank you for the feedback. I bought 2 this week, but they aren’t eating my hair algae nor the nori I offered. I bought them 4 days apart because I thought the first one was an odd case.Ive had more than one, both dollabella - best algae eater and blue dot. When algae was completely gone, I rehomed and blue dot traded back to LFS
10 months. I have an algae problem so he eats that. Dudes grown a lot. Once a week I will leave a clip of nori in the sand bed in front of him. He devours the nori. Dude eats anything green I swear! Love him, his name is Frank!How long have you had it for?
What do you feed it?
Are you sure they are not eating? Best way to tell if they are eating is to see if they poop. They poop like once a minute or something, it’s a lot! Maybe they just haven’t found the algae yetThank you for the feedback. I bought 2 this week, but they aren’t eating my hair algae nor the nori I offered.

Once a minute??? I’ve only ever seen them poop when I added them to the tank. I don’t recall seeing them poop after that.Are you sure they are not eating?

Are they nocturnal eaters? Do you offer the food with the lights out? I appreciate you answering my questions. I want to be successful with the sea hare(s).Dude eats anything green I swear!
Dolabella from California is the best for algae. If derbesia or bryopsis, they wont touch itThank you for the feedback. I bought 2 this week, but they aren’t eating my hair algae nor the nori I offered. I bought them 4 days apart because I thought the first one was an odd case.
This is what it looks like (on the back wall).Dolabella from California is the best for algae. If derbesia or bryopsis, they wont touch it
What a group of Chromis !! The sea hare seems to be going to work and a good sign on the glass versus the corner or along top rim often a sign of insufficient food sourceThis is what it looks like (on the back wall).
Where's the algae you are concerned about, in crevices in the rock?This is what it looks like (on the back wall).
Yeah, I swear they poop like once submitted if you watch them because I was curious, I kind of timed it but I just feed them Nori that is sushi grade and I get it off of Amazon. It’s more green and color.Once a minute??? I’ve only ever seen them poop when I added them to the tank. I don’t recall seeing them poop after that.
Just so you are prepared both emotionally and physically. The average life span of a sea hare is 1 year. Not trying to be bummer, but I don't want you to blow up your tank.10 months.

I guess I’m just more proactive than many reefers. I don’t like waiting for problems to become unmanageable.Where's the algae you are concerned about, in crevices in the rock?
Yeah I had one in my other tank and he died and I got him out with no issue I wish they lived longer!Just so you are prepared both emotionally and physically. The average life span of a sea hare is 1 year. Not trying to be bummer, but I don't want you to blow up your tank.
Same. Mine doesn’t touch it. This is at its peak I have since 75% tamed it with a bit with manual labor and fluconazole. Dude would just slide right over it. You can see him there… not eating it. Even with nutrients under control it’s relentless.Thank you for the feedback. I bought 2 this week, but they aren’t eating my hair algae nor the nori I offered.
