Anyone out there with a serious algae problem? I have a sea hare that will get rid of it for you. I need to find a new home for it as it has eaten all the algae in my tank and I don't want it to starve. It will eat everything in your tank.

Got this little puppy from golfish, who had a bryopsis problem until he put a couple of these guys in his tank. It's about the size of a fuzzy tennis ball and ugly as heck, but eat algae it will.

Asking $25 which is what I paid for him. Thanks.

It ate all the algae in my tank, hair and macro. I've even seen it eat red slime algae, but not in my tank. Took him a few days to get started but then he wiped out all the algae in about 4 days. I know it's only a 20g tank, but this sucker can eat. This is a photo of what it looks like, not the one I have. If you want a pic of the one in my tank, I have to take one when I get home and post it tonite.

Yeah, it ain't the prettiest thing you can buy for your tank, but it gets the job done. :D

Someone must have some algae that they need to get rid of. I need to find a home for this guy before he starves. Price drop $20. If no takers I have to bring him to the LFS.

Mark, it worked out great. It eats like a horse too. Thanks for turning me onto this thing.
