Hey hobowire,
The Sea Bunnies are a type of sea slug (probably the genus Aplysia) that eat algae. If you put them into a smallish fuge they will likely decimate all of the algae rather quickly. You may have to supplement their diet with Nori (dried porphyra algae available at Asian food stores) They do reproduce quickly and their larva are a good food for organisms in your tank. One thing to be cautious of is they are very weak and can get sucked into pumps or down overflows easily. I purchased to Aplysia dactloymia (sp?) a few months ago and fed them nori. One disappeared and I found another one stuck to a maxijet intake (that's how weak they are
)
HTH,
Kevin
