Sea hare question

I'm afraid that my sea hare is running out of food in my tank (believe it or not) so today my husband asked my LFS about returning him/her tomorrow... My LFS told him that I should wait until all the algae in my tank is gone (it pretty much is) and then a little while longer, as they can live for several weeks without feeding. This way, we can be sure the algae will not come back. I thought this sounded a little fishy... Do any of you think it will be okay for a couple weeks more, or should I take it back tomorrow? I can't find much info on sea hare feeding online... Thanks.

Re: Sea hare question

you can use nori sheets for supplemental feeding.

I've been doing that, but I didn't think that nori would be enough, because there is literally no green algae left in my tank.

Re: Sea hare question

Yeah, mine shoots across the bottom leaving a giant ditch in the sand behind him. Maybe I'll just leave him in with the sea veggies and see how he does. Thanks!
