Now that would be an interresting contest. Maybe expand it to include snails at least other wise very few could compete.

boozeman · 01-26-2007, 02:18 PM

maybe it could be the next photo of the month contest...oh Woody!!!!

bluespotjawfish · 01-26-2007, 02:28 PM

Just remember if we do that we will have to look at that ugly thing for a whole month. Can you handle that?

saltwaterfarm · 01-26-2007, 03:39 PM

Mine is kinda cute... he's light brown and looks like a bunny. At least until he's scooting around on the glass... then it's kinda freaky!

What happens when it dies? Does its little ink bladder let go? That would be bad.

Well this morning I thought I was going to find out. Guess he was just sleeping, cause he is scooting around again just happy as can be. Go bunny go!

Sea Hares are in the Gastropod family closely related to snails... even having an internal shell. They are hardy like snails and much less delicate than other sea slugs(nudibranchs).

This practice of sharing them has been widely used in our hobby of many years. The only drawback about Sea Hares is their life span is only a year or so.

Jay you are becoming quite the expert at sea hare husbandry.

lcstorc · 01-31-2007, 12:28 PM

Maybe you need to be the official "Sea Hare Expert" on RS.

I only recently started hearing about these guys and now everybody is talking about them. Seem like they are a really awesome addition but the 1 yr life span does stink. Wonder if they can be captively bred?

blue_eyes53813 · 01-31-2007, 02:13 PM

I see that live aquaria has sea hares for 20 bucks... I have about ten small spots of hair algae in my tank... Im confused if it will consume the hair algae.????? I dont want it to starve and or expel the ink... Of course here in Wisconsin right now it is darn cold and wont feel right ordering one on the net in sub 0 weather..... Anybody see one actually mow over hair algae ?

blue_eyes53813 · 02-01-2007, 03:27 PM

Well I guess I have to go on a road trip this weekend.. Im gonna go to Drs foster and Smith store In Rhinelander Wisconsin... They do have sea hares and Im excited to check out their store... Im gonna take alot of $$$$$

It is about 4 hours from me.....lol make a nice Saturday Drive..

lcstorc · 02-01-2007, 04:12 PM

Have fun! I wish they were close enough to me to visit.

Be sure to post pics of what you get.
We'll be waiting.

bluespotjawfish · 02-01-2007, 10:04 PM

Here are some pics of my cute little guy! He doesn't come out to the glass much, so this was a rare photo opp.

BrothaWolf · 02-01-2007, 10:07 PM
