OK so i have a big hair algae problem..which i am thinking about starting another thread for that problem...but this one is about how i keep killing sea hares.
the first one was a month ago, he didnt make it 24 hours. i thought maybe i didnt acclimate long enough or m aybe he was on his way out anyways... but also my parameters were not exactly prefect at the time.
this week i get another one. when i put him in he went straight to eating. he took a nap and then ate some more. next day before i go to work he is chowing down. but when i come home from work he is dead. am i killing these? i dont know why they both died really quickly. is there something special about sea hares that i dont know about? i know my pH is on the low side, but everybody else in my tank is happy...clown, blenny goby, inverts, lps and softies.
SG- 1.025
pH- 8.1
temp 79-81
nitrate- 0
both times i added the hair i added either inverts or corals at the same time and they are all doing fine. the LFS did say that this latest hair was really hungry...could they have both just been on their way out already?
