It is known that once Seahare give birth, it will die...mine lasted 3weeks.

mine cant find the body after it dies. it got very short lifespan for mine .

[FelixSu]

Seahare needs to acclimatise slowly. They are very sensitive to water changes. Once your water parameters is stable, you can keep them sucessfully and they are very good hair algae eaters.

Is that a sea hare? Its body look kind of similar to my "sea cuke".

Is my looks same as yours "sea hare"?

[kelstorm]

looks more like a sea cuke to me..

[FelixSu]

i would say cuke. where did u get it from? what did the lfs shop say?

[Kelmen]

LFS indeed selling it as "cuke" to me. Just curious, I thought they are same. Obviously both pictures are blur enough

[kelstorm]

sea hares have 'ears' like rabbits...usually 2 sets to be exact, thus the name sea hares...

hey guys,

The eggs of the sea hare (14 millions) can actually hatch into swimming veliger larvae, providing food for your suspension feeding corals, anemones, clams, feather dusters, etc. recommended @ indo-pacific sea farms.

And also recommended @ seahorse.com for feeding of seahorse fry with larvae of sea hare.

After which, several weeks later the larvae will metamorphose into miniature sea hares !

Hurry get your pair from ML and watch them "play". Actually 1 also can , as it can change ######.

Hi guys, would like to know how many species of sea hare are available in our local lfs? is the one shown by rush_9 the only type?

[ervine]

i had 2 seahares... I only realised after the 2nd one died what had caused their deaths... I had originally thought the first one died from starvation.. but the 2nd one I even hand fed it.. but still died...

Like some reefers mentioned, they are very sensitive to water changes... and silly me went to dose too much alkalinity buffer at one go... (which I usually do without any casualties)... which ultimately resulted in their death...

well at least that's what I believed happened, because on both occassions both of them died the day after I dosed the buffer... my bad..
