Sea hare care

So i know that sea hares eat hair algae I was recently having a battle with green hair algae and it's almost at the end of that battle but I do still have some gha in my tank and I know the sea hare will love that. Also have green algae at the sides of my tank as I never made it a habit to clean the sidesof my tank. Does anyone own or had experience with sea hare that they can share? Do they all eat gha or is it a hit or miss? And if they die how serious is the damage that could be done to the tank? Any other additional info will be much appreciated thanks in advance

 

no one? i'm shocked :s

 

the one i had did.. I borrowed it from a friend.. Doesn't take long to clean a 5.5 gal of all the hair algae... LOL...

 

i have a 75g and i had alottttt of gha on the back of my tank. I got a sea hare and hes an eating machiene. My favorite thing in my tank. I personally think hes cute, kinda like a hippo without legs haha, I call him Shreck .

 

hahahaha shrek....that is funny but I do know sea hares do some major work on gha. It's gonna need some Caulerpa, parboiled lettuce, or dried kelp once the gha is gone. Idk but u may also be able to try some sort of seaweed salad but i'm not sure if it will take that or not

 

ive had two in the past and theyve both died within a week of getting them but i do have to say while they were alive they did work on my GHA

 

Ive heard alot of people say that theirs didnt last long, Ive had mine for a couple of weeks now, and hes out and about all day and night.

 

i have a sea hare, had it for 3 days.. it hasn't touched my GHA........ :S the sea hare is a descent size as well, about 3 inches

 

Ime smaller hares seem to eat more gha
