Sea Hare ?
So i got a Sea Hare yesterday while i was getting some more fish food. I put him in the tank and he starting eating algae right away and seems to be doing great. It's now been about 12 hours since i've seen him. he's about twice the size of a golf ball and pretty hard to miss so do they just go missing for a bit? im not to worried as it's only been 12 hours, just would have thought that i'd see him again once the lights came on. also anything else you could tell me about em would be great. I know some of you have had one before.

Re: Sea Hare ?
They bury themselves in the sand when they are not active. It's probably just hiding.
They are awesome algae eaters, the best animals I've found for any and all types of algae, it seems.

Re: Sea Hare ?
Don't they sometimes have a tendency to crawl in the sand and die?

Re: Sea Hare ?
Yep, if they do die, they'll probably be in the sand when it happens. Same with sea cucumbers.
I had a sea cucumber die in my old tank in the sand somewhere, and I didn't go digging around to find it. I mean, they're gross enough alive, like I want to dig out a rotting one. It spiked my parameters. It sucked.
