Usually in home aquarium, it just die off after finishing the algae as there is not enough algae supply. I am also tempted to get one but in the phase of reading up.

Bro qianjun, what do u feed it with after it serves it's purpose?

Let me share with you my experience with sea hare.

It's a Ulgy but hardworking animal. It has a beautiful rabbit face but a turned off body.

It moves around, but unlike the anemone, it will not be shredded by the wave maker. Why?

Because it has a head and once it's head is stick in the grills of the wavemaker, the whole body will stiffen . It will just stuck like that. Head in, body out.

Don't try to pull it out. The harder you try, the harder it becomes. Then it will release purple ink from it's back. It's harmless.

What I did was to turn off the wavemaker and leave it at the sand bed. The hare will manage its way out.

So it's not true that it will face the same fate as an anemone trapped in the wave maker and poison the whole tank.

A useful animal.

Tried sea slug and tuxedo urchin. Sea slug died after a short while without doing much help. My tuxedo urchin cleared every inch of hair algae in my tank but be prepared that it will "steal" some of your loose corals and move around with them as well.
