I had one also that died in a pretty tight spot. (not my 5.5) But I'm sure mine ran out of food. I could be possible. When I found mine it was a ball of slime.... | |

Unfortunately, sometimes sea hares die. I had one wander into an elegance coral which tried to swallow it. I rescued it and shortly thereafter, it wandered right back into the elegance. I rescued it again but the elegance sting must have been too much for it and it died. I pulled it out and WOW talk about stank! It went the way of the nemo....one flush and away it went. | |

Sea Hares live a short life!!! They last a year or less in nature or in a captive environment!!!!
It is possible that it died naturally!!!
Again, one year or less is tops for their life expectancy! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
