Stowaway?
I recently added a hang on refugium to my 30 gallon tank. The results have been superb and the inhabitants are definitely happier. I noticed over the past week that my Chaeto and other macroalgae (sargassum and red algae that I collected in the Gulf) was shrinking. I decided to remove the algae and remove a couple of hermit crabs that had found their way into the refugium.
I put the algae into a small holding tank while cleaning it out. The red algae was totally missing. As I put the sargassum back into the refugium, I noticed a dark mass in the algae. It turned out to be a three inch sea hare! I put it into the display tank, where I guess it will graze for whatever is there, although it won't be growing nearly as fast. Any pointers? You never know what you'll find in one of these tanks! |

I cant help you with your sea hare problem but I read on a thread that a guy got a goby in one of his live rocks.

pretty sure the sea hare will starve after it has eaten all (or most of) the algea in the display tank..

I plan on taking him back to the Gulf with the nuiscance crabs next month. He's interesting, but too large (and hungry) for my tank.
