Default Re: Help.. Hair algae?

Be careful!! Sea slugs.. most commonly sold as Sea Hares due to looking like a rabbit with its ears, can be DEADLY. If your sea hare eats red slime algae then it tuns that slime algae into a toxin as self defense. If your sea hare dies it lets go of that toxin, a lot of water changes will follow.. so be careful to make sure you don't have a big red slime algae problem any where in your tank. Sea slugs do eat hair algae, I've seen a sea hare eat all of the hair algae off of a completely covered back wall in a matter of two days... Just please be careful
