yup.

my seahare spawned in my tank and i have little seahares crawling around.

they're only 0.7cm and they are same colour as rock and algae. so spotting them is very hard... and they usually only come out at night.

today spotted 3. i will try to harvest them for you if you really want... but you would probably be better off buying bigger ones at LFS. tiny 0.7cm seahares are lousy algae eaters.

Bro,

Me interested!! Now confinement, need all the algae eater I can find. Baby seahare all the better! Adults ones tend to be too clumsy.

[yikai]

How you frag?

just cut the stem and put it in a low flow area full of rocks for it to stick lor... cannot. will melt after a few days.

[yikai]

yeah. softies can be so nice. here's another video. this time through the glass instead of top down.

main colony all stick on rocks le. the frags i frag i just let them rest on coral chips and small rocks in a betta box. low flow so it will stick. but will melt.

i try alot of methods also lol. i try the toothpick method, melt even faster. tried the mesh method also melt.

maybe i put a rock next to the main stem and let it stick to that rock.

ah. dun put them in too high flow. xenias don't pulse if the flow is too strong. try turning off all your wavemakers and pump for 5 minutes and make the water still and current-less. see if your xenias will pulse.

mine are in an area with very low, gentle flow. thus the strong pulsation.

the exact reason why they pulse is unknown. no one knows why xenia pulse. but strong flow will usually stop pulsing.

ahhh! and is the stoppage a permanent one? :S

[yikai]

no.

they will resume pulsing in lower flow. just dun blast them or subject them to high flow.

but some xenias don't pulse even in low flow. depends on individual xenias... does not mean they're unhealthy though
