I do give him alge wafferes 3-4 times a week and he seems quite happy and I don't have any alge in my tank. You just have to watch once he has cleaned up your tank you have to supplement his food. He also likes to burrie him self during the day in the sand so a nice 3-4" sand bed would be nice for him

Cool! I wonder if someone would even NEED to have snails if they had just one Sea Hare? Hmm. Anyway.. I didn't know about them burying themselves in the sand. I do have about 3" of sand however I only have the front fifth of it that's not covered by LR. I wonder if that would be alright.

Thanks for all the information Dabbler!
