The California Sea Hare will help clean up hair algae problems. They are an awesome cleaning crew member, but are not ideal for beginner hobbyists. The sea hare is very sensitive, so they need pristine water quality. These little guys are for experienced hobbyists because sea hares have the ability to release a purple cloud of toxins when they feel stressed or threatened. That toxin is very dangerous to the other tank mates. It is a good idea to always run carbon in the filtration to help remove the toxins. Since they are so sensitive, drip acclimation is recommended to get them used to their new water conditions. This sea hare will spend its day munching on algae, so be sure to supplement if your aquarium is running low. This sea hare is found along the coast of California and parts of Mexico inhabiting intertidal zones.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
