Senior Reefer yikai Posted August 15, 2010 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted August 15, 2010 i heard there is a sea hare over population prob here? wanna trade with my mysis shrimp lolx.. 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.

I put them directly under my vortech! lol. where did you put yours? (: 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.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted August 17, 2010 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted August 17, 2010 ahhh! and is the stoppage a permanent one? :S 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
