Is this nudibranch a SEAHARE?

[chinmo]

hi bros, any one knows if this is a seahare?

[Achilles Tang]

Nope... doesnt look like the normal brown sea hares that Marinelife brings in... they don't have that many tendrils sprouting out their back!

But looking at it... it probably is an algae eater... it would be very hard for a predator to see it in a clump of seaweed or algae!

I dun think you should worry too much about it.

oh yea... btw... according to ML , seahare dun have long life spent... around 4-5 months...

btw.... seahare r great... but a nuisance @ times... cause they tend to pay a visit to ur corals....and squeeze through holes... ( cause ur landscape to fall if they r not secured....

well... when their eggs hatch....they provide food for ur corals and fishy...cause seahares frys r larve...

oh well... but they tend to shit alot... u can see really big pile of shit almost everywhere..
