sea hair eating cyanobacteria
 
I bought a sea hair from JL last week and it has ate all the cyanobacteria in the tank.
Anyone had a similar result?
Cheers

They are not too bright, I've seen some eat it and then die within a very short time afterwards. Either that or they hurry to find a powerhead to get sucked into. :wink:
