Sea Hare in RSM...
So it's about week 4 now with my new RSM setup and i guess I'm onto phase 2... Green Hair Algae!!! So what else is there to do but to get a sea hare.
 Once the GHA is under control, I'm returning him for 1/2 credit.  They're such a cool animal...  And they have quite the mouth to grab and tear the stuff right off the rocks...

yup, mine did a fabulous job on our tank and months later I only have one 1/2" patch of HA that's ever come back.
Just be sure to return him as soon as he runs out of food!!

I saw mine inhale a big chunk of bubble algae. Awesome!

I am still battling hair algae and the bubble algae is coming on strong. I visited the closest LFS last week. They had one sea hare that was probably 2 1/2" long and that was buried in the sand.
This critter just seemed too big for my tank, I am afraid of starving him. Do they normally dive into the substrate once the hair and other algae are dealt with? Will they eat nori if they run out of live algae?

Mine went into the sand during the day... that's where they hide out... came out later in the day and grazed continuously... once all the algae was gone, I traded him back for 1/2 credit.
I couldn't get him to eat nori, he just walked around it when I put some in...
