Hair Algae Phosphate Filter Pad

greshham is right, the bali sea hares just tear up hair algae, we have recieved them for the last 3 weeks at the shop and i took 1 to a tank i take care of. when i put it in the tank it mosied(do sea hares mosey????) over to a crocea clam and didn't move for a while, i thought, oh great, i just put this thing in here and now its dying. well to make a long story.............EVEN LONGER! i picked up the sea hare and turned it over, it was munching some algae that was on the clam's shell, it had a piece of algae sticking out of its mouth and sucking it in like spagetti.

 

They'r much better than the Carribean ones, and the central American ones. Something about those Bali ones.

 

anyone have a link, i never heard of them?

this is it? any one else sell them? there cute, in a sick deranged way.

 

Will bali sea hares eat the algae on glass to?

 

No, they suck the juice outa the hair algae IIRC, so it would have to be juicy. Conches will clean as far as they can reach though

 

Love my conch, growing like a weed. Has doubled in size over a four month period!

 

Got a Queen Conch and a Bali Sea Monster, Dolabella Sea Hare on order today, from BlowFishAquatics.com. I have search for more info and it is tough to fid on the Bali Sea Monster

are the only two web pages i can find. Any others out there?

 

Also, do i have to fear about power heads, or don't they climb on the glass?

 

My Bali Sea Monster is missing and my Queen Conch was swarmed by hermit crabits. The Conch live about 2 hours, eaten alive. Do BSM like caves. AS soon as i added mine to the tank he went into a cave. I could see him moving around, but now 3 days later no sign of him
