Default Sea Hare

OK, the green sea hare (off-white coloured) died! RIP.

This is my second one from JL, only living for whole 3 days. Yup, 3 days!!! The first one lasted maybe a day or two more.

Unfortunately, neither one ate the hair algae in the tank. They both preferred to roam around on the glass sticking their snout above the water on the odd occasion.

They were both climatized with a slow drip over a 3 hour period.

At this point, I'm hesitant to buy another sea hare especially if they only live in my tank for 3-5 days.

I'm not sure if it's because I didn't climatized it properly. Parameters of the tank are normal and consistent based on previous test results.

At this point, I'm looking for alternatives to get rid of the hair algae. The hair algae is about 0.5cm long covering maybe 5% of my reef rock.

Any suggestions to rid my tank of hair algae? Snails? Replacing the reef rock?

Thoughts?
