    I bought a sea hare on a whim to throw him into my HOB refugium. My refugium was full of all kinds of algae mainly hair algae, brown, algae, and cyano.

    This little sucker devoured it all in a week. For the first time in months I can see to the bottom of it. He did an awesome job.

    If I can manage to sell it forward to help someone else out what can I supplement his eating with????

    but your refuge is suppose to be full of algae so it eats up the nutrients and stops it from growing in the main DT.

    I used to have one they do an awesome job at eating algae.You can buy dried algea at the local fish store the same stuff you get for tangs and such.
