Sea hare DEAD!!!!!!!!

Thanks reefer. Good to know...

 

my lfs guy told me if it dies to gets it out of the tank immediately.something about it may poison the tank.

 

Mine turned into a ball of slime when it died.. It was in a hard spot to see.. I lost a bta shortly after....

 

I disagree, we've had a sea hare in our system for about 2 years. As long as they're well fed, they should live.

 

i have already removed from the tank

 

Did it stink to high heaven?

 

That makes me feel better amcarrig. I would like to put one in the large tank I will have someday!!!!:-/:-/

 

They are similar to Sea Cucumbers as they will pollute a tank if they die or become harassed About Saltwater Aquariums - Reef Tanks toxic substances.
Then I continued to delve into this issue further and came up with these contrasting and interesting facts!!!
Go figure!!! That is why it makes so much sense to read, read, and read somemore and to definitely research about an animal before chosing to purchase it!!!! Husbandry, compatibility, life expectancy etc. all need to be factored into the equasion before selecting and ultimately deciding if this is for you and your tank population!

 

just want to thank everyone on your kind words about my loss

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. We see them often in the stores we frequent and think about getting one but like Reefer mentioned they are short lived. They could die somewhere in our aquascape that we could not get to, which is about 1/2 the tank...
