I am new here, But not to saltwater. I purchased a blue dot sea hare for hair algae. But in 2 days he has not touched any hair algae. Is he the wrong sea hare?
Tank. 24 gallon JBJ nano with bak pak skimmer 1 clown and 1 royal gramma. Clam and gsp.

Wrong sea hare

See tropic needs paragraph (presuming this is the same hare..check the scientific name). Seems as if this one feeds on cyano and diatoms on the sand http://www.sms.si.edu/irlspec/Bursatella_leachii.htm

Well double check the scientific name with the supplier. Try a nori clip and if he doesn't eat in a few days return him or let another reefer rent him

Sea hare in a nano? It will starve to death in about 3 months
