Trying to figure out the reason I lost my Sea Hare today. I have had it for about a month.
It was great in cleaning up all the Hair Algae in my 16G, than about 2 weeks ago, I transferred it to my 156G and it proceeded to chomp up the Hair Algae there too. A few days ago, I noticed that is seem to be less interested feeding. Yesterday, it did not move from one of the caves it choose to hide in, not unusal since it oftens takes breaks from all that eating, sometimes barrowing under the sand bed. This morning it was unside down in the same cave, looks like it died over nite since the hermits had yet to attack the body.
I have had Sea Hares before and I lost them to power heads ! Decided to try it again now that the Hydor Koralia power heads don't have direct suction. I though I had it working great this time since I even saw the Sea Hare eat hair algae off the Hydor Koralia with no problem.
All the other livestock in my tank are doing great, and water parameters like NO3, etc area dead on where it should be.
How long does a Sea Hare live ? Did it die of "œold age" ? It was fairly large, about 4".
