    Yes, i've always wished it was like that over here! :) But they will die if you dont feed them caulerpa or kelp after they have no algaes left in the tank, else it will die. Its very hard to feed afterwards, but they love caulerpa i've heard :) Kelp can also work, but not aswell. Its much more easier to rent one, since you dont have to worry about the feedings, which is awesome. Its great to have such a cool guy scooting around the tank though, so i'll see if i can get my hands on some caulerpa and see if i can grow it in a refugium :)

    I did, and he said it could do that when it just gets into the tank. But after some time they always come out. Mine came out after 1 day and is in full algae grazing rampage mode, haha :D

    Your sea hare won't eat (or cure) your bryopsis problem.

    I don't see this ending well.

    Well sorry to dissapoint you on the waterchanges. But its much easier keeping things in balance with waterchanges for a beginner, which i then think that beginners can start with that and move on to dosing. Dosing is also more expensive. But if you have the correct salt to replace with, you can replenish those trace elements much easier, while keeping everything at the correct levels and amounts. Therefore i think if you want to put the work into your saltwater tank (Which is only 10 mins every week) then you can do 10 - 15% waterchange every week. Its much easier, and i'm used to it from freshwater, i'm not that lazy :) I'm sorry about saying that to a well respected person, but i've not had any problems with the sebae anemone. Which is really nice, and its even growing. So i'm just talking from me own experience. Which is always the best. Rather than listening to other experiences than your own can sometimes be quite a dumb thing to do. Just do what you think is right, and you will develop as a hobbyist, and will at the end know alot more than many others. Experiment, experiment, experiment. "Does this work out? Lets try and find out" but also get your brain into it "I cant put a shark together with a damselfish, that would be pretty obvious i think". So thats atleast what i told myself, and i've been very succesful by following that. Although not completely saying that you cant trust others, but then what you do is that you cant trust everybody. EVERYBODY has different water parameters, aquascapes, and whatever that might be the issues. So you can only truly trust your own experience, and thats what i've been doing and its working extremely well. I didnt want to offend anyone, but i'm just talking from what i've seen so far.
