California Sea Hare
The California Sea Hare will help clean up hair algae problems. They are an awesome cleaning crew member, but are not ideal for beginner hobbyists. The sea hare is very sensitive, so they need pristine water quality. These little guys are for experienced hobbyists because sea hares have the ability to release a purple cloud of toxins when they feel stressed or threatened. That toxin is very dangerous to the other tank mates. It is a good idea to always run carbon in the filtration to help remove the toxins. Since they are so sensitive, drip acclimation is recommended to get them used to their new water conditions. This sea hare will spend its day munching on algae, so be sure to supplement if your aquarium is running low. This sea hare is found along the coast of California and parts of Mexico inhabiting intertidal zones.
