Sea Hare

Here are some pics of my sea hare. I've had it for around 6 months. before I put a guard on my overflow tube he got stuck in it (well just his head) I pulled him out and he sprayed ink all over, luckily I had a plastic container and was able to scope up him and the purple water( which is poisonous) before it spread around the tank. This thing is an algae eating machine.

 

did he live?

 

yes, he did. at first I thought it was blood. I didn't know they squirted ink as a defense.
I took him out of the container and put him back in the tank and he was fine. it's weird they way he can go up the side of the glass. most of the time he will get to the top and fall down. when he falls his body gets a rigid.

 

That's so cool, do you have enough algae in your tank for him or do you need to supplement his food? I've heard that they will quickly eat everything they can and then starve to death because of lack of food.

 

Neat

 

unfortunately yes, but I'm started to get a hold on the algae problem, so I'll probably will have to start giving him food.

 

they are good at getting stuck on powerheads and such.i had to return mine after it did its job
