Sea hares are about $20.00 or more depending on the size. Generally I paid about $20 dollars for one. You can find them mostly in Edmonton here at Big Al's. Last Wednesday, I had seen some beige colored sea hares at AI for $20-25.
In my experience Sea hares were great for cleaning up my hair algae but after the hair algae was gone I noticed they would die. I liked the blobs so much I bought another in the hopes that I would feed other algaes, but again had no success and it would die. I gave up trying as I didn't want to starve another.
I found from others that they have had the same problems with keeping sea hares alive. Big Al's at one time had an amazing colored spotted sea hare and that it was from the caribbean. Apparently the sales guy told me that these sea hares from this origin live longer and can be fed other algae but I never bought that one to find out.
