    Does anyone know a predator of the Sea Hare. I have had 2 in my tank now and each only lasts 1 to 5 days. The demise of this one seems to be a major wound.

    The First I believe was DOA but am not 100% sure.

    Thanks
    Jason

    Sea Hare are suppose to be very hard to ship and most places don't warranty them. I had one for four months but fell pray to about 10 Hermit Crabs. The second did not last 2 days, must of been the trip to my house.

    They usually starve to death after some time (unless you have a hardy source of hair algae) They're really sensitive to ammonia in shipping, and with all that mocus, there's plenty of ammonia to go around. If hermits got yours, it died first ;)
