    Where did you get a sea hare? I've been looking for one forever but I hate the thought of paying a next day air fee to get one.

    I think that you can also used blanched lettuce, but I'm not terribly sure about that.
    120G Reef and 40B reef at work, 120G tank dry and dirty in the garage.

    A LFS had 2 of them in their tank. They had little algea and sold him to me at a good price since. They said they had another one somewhere, but they couldn't find him in the tank while I was there.

    He was worth every cent he will climb over everything and eat any algea he can get to.

    I read up on them and know that they can "ink" like that of a squid, but so far everything I read about them says they are not harmful, just a distasteful ink.

    I have a sea cucumber, but he stays in his little area around a rock and rarely moves out so I was in need of a grazer, if you have a good supply of algea I would recommend getting one.
