sea hare

i accidently posted my first sea hare question in the hitchhiker thread about whether or not my peppermint shrimp attacking it. (it was confirmed)
now i woke up this morning and it's laying on it's side between the rock and glass in the corner of my tank.
i tried poking it, but nothing happened. are they heavy sleepers, or has another one bit the sand?

Re: sea hare

Mine are heavy sleepers. If it stays there more than 2 hours lift it out and smell of it, you'll know if it's dead or not right away.

Re: sea hare

Mine (named Puke Aloysius) was just laying there this morning and I thought he was dead so I poked him. He moved a minute or two later. He's a heavy sleeper.

Re: sea hare

Yeah they are VERY heavy sleepers. Trust me you'll know when you take it out if it's sleeping or expired. I still gag a little just thinking about how the original Buggz smelled when he went to the algae field in the sky.

Good luck.

Re: sea hare

Mine smelled more foul than I could possibly describe.
The weird part was he never looked dead. Never bleached or lost color.
I left him in there way too long hoping for the best.

Are you SURE it was the Sea Hare? Do you know how BAD clams can smell?

Be careful about poking sea hares... they just might decide to "Ink" your tank.

Re: sea hare

Wow! That's always the chance with any sea hare. I didn't even think of that.

Re: sea hare

Mine was harassed pretty well by the shrimp, but never inked.
Mine must have had a high tolerance for pain or stupid shrimp. lol

Re: sea hare

it's been in the same spot for about two days now, so i dont think he's just being lazy. is it flushable, or does it go in the garbage?

I would make sure before discarding it. Don't poke it but you can pick it up and you'll know. Maybe roll it onto it's side and see if it "Rights" itself back again.

Good luck. And about flushing.. guess that depends on capacity of your toilet...

Re: sea hare

i just looked over, and saw my peppermint shrimp sticking his "hands" into it's mouth digging around. -- poking not necessary anymore.
