Any idea which species it is? They don't all eat the same things.

I had 2 of these babies.. and always supplemented them with nori... they took well to it... till they met the PH.

Get rid of your powerheads before you put a sea hare in your tank. I had a large one in my 90 gal tank and it "disappeared." I bought one recently for my 58 and it last 4 days before I found it sucked into the intake of a PH. I suspect the larger one in the big tank met the same fate. Maybe you can cover the PH intakes with sponges?

Good luck! Sea hares are so cute!
