I had one. I offered it up to the club here but had no takers and it vanished. It will clean up hair algae no problem. Be prepared to pass it on to someone or take it back to the store when it eats all the algae because it will die quickly if no algae is present. I didn't have any luck getting mine to eat Nori.

Ritter is right they are beasts when it comes to taking care of the algae. Make sure to plan ahead cause it will starve and die once there is no algae and pollute your tank causing the algae outbreak again. Lol

Did u ever get a skimmer? Skimmer and some chaeto in the sump would help. If it still doesn't go away a bit of phosban or Gfo should knock it out. A sea hare will only be a band aid. The algae will grow right back.

I got the Euro Reef 80 from Sean, it's been running for about 5 days now, it's working great. I'm hoping to see a difference with the gha. Ive also cut back on how long my light is on.

If you are referring to nudibranches, I am pretty sure they are not reef friendly. I would have to do some reading to validate that though. Pretty sur I have read that somewhere though.

I think the lettuce nudibranch is actually photosynthetic. I may be thinking of something else but there's one slug that eats algae and then uses the algae in it's own tissue to photosynthesize. I think they are coral safe but I'm not 100% on that either.

If its reef safe.. eats algae... and no mention of toxin when stressed. I'm thinking it maybe safer lol

Looks cool too! Of course i haven't kept em so i really don't know

There are 2 at Critter Co. in Shreveport. Didn't look at price, was more interested in a couple the fish they had.
