Hello!

I can't really answer to your question, but Karma for asking and being here! And a bump for your question... ;D

 

They are considered "reef safe" but, if I'm not mistaken, they only eat hair algae so when you run out, they will most likely die.

 

Thanks amcarring.I will try to give them some work.

 

These is the Green Sea Hares and it is reefsafe .It is an amazing animal

After 15 minutes the algae had gone.

Thanks for sharing the pics and info Ioannis! Ugly little buggers aren't they

 

They work miracles, my tank was in very very bad shape do to hair algae. in two weeks it is 90% gone. I e-mail the store i got it from, they told me how to take care of them when the algae is gone i forget what type of dried seaweed to get them, so i sent him an e-mail. THis ugly creature saved my tank, it was actually my last shot before giving up and shutting down the lights totally. My experience is that it is reef safe, it ate all the hair algae grwoing on my torch coral with out any harm to it.
