Sea Hare

Now that is some funny stuff Greg LMAO!
I was thinking about my two boys myself

We can't seem to keep one alive for more than a month or so.

Glad to hear they are not toxic, but I do know they can release an ink substance if really ****ed off.

Anyone know if there are any stores in Edmonton selling these?

I've tried them three times and they have all disappeared within a week, with no ill effects. In my tank they probably overate themselves. Going to try one again soon, algea is coming back.

Well, I hope mine lives longer than a month ! Have you guys tried to supplement their diet? Anyone out there with feeding tips, advice .. that would be great.

I have been trying to feed mine some red marine algae, he tastes it, and eats a bit.. I think it's too hard for him to eat off a clip though , need to put it on a piece of rubble.

I dont see how a sea hare could starve though, there is algaes growing every day in our tank, on our rocks... maybe just not enough to keep them satisfied.

When we used to have a PBT we would strap some Julian Sprung's Green Seaweed to a small piece of rock with elastics. When Sluggo (the sea hare) would come out of hiding he/she would always clean off the feeding rock of any traces the tang missed. Perhaps you could try that as well if needed.

Ruth: We picked ours up at AI. They seem to bring them in often.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try some regular Big Al's seaweed I have.. maybe he'll be interested. I will also elastasize (sp?) the seaweed to some live rock rubble.
