Hair Algae the Battle, & The WIN..

i posted a pic a while back i dont know if its up still but it was about 3 months ago i had a serious case of hair algae it started destroying my zoas and so on, i went to the lfs and i got a seahare. it took him 6weeks to get rid of the hairalgae . i no longer have the pic i took right before i put in the seahare.. the 2 pics here are 2 months before it became a problem. i was getting ready to give up on the tank but then realized this is the only hobby that i love!. the 2 pics here show nothing it was 20xs worse.

so a few weeks after i got the seahare, id say 6 weeks i noticed a huge difference in the tank he pretty much mowed it all down. i didnt believe the stories or anything but i had to do it myself to see if there was hope.. there was these r todays snaps with new coral. pic #1 whats the name??? lol.
tell me what you guys think.

give me the TRUTH!!!

Fromia actually, Fromia milleporella.
How are you liking it? I've been debating on getting one. Does it eat any corals or anything? What is their maintenance like?

heck naw easy to keep, i have no idea what it eats it just walks around all day lol slowly. had it for about 8 months now. it just creeps around. if u have camel shrimp or any kinda shrimp that pic at things i wouldnt recommend getting one. i had one a while back my camel shrimp ripped him into pieces not like he could run away or anything. so i got rid of the shrimp. but yea super easy to keep. well for me cuz iono what he eats
they are REEFSAFE

Niceee. Did you take the seahare back after it finished your hair algae ? I think i might ned to buy one for my tank also. Does it matter if the hair algae is very big ? Or do you need to pull out the big chunks and then let the seahare finish off the short algae on the rocks ?

 

[fishstick4sale]

nope didnt matter i had hairalgae the size of grass in there HUGEEEEE an it ate it all up the more the better for him becuz they will eat it all FAST! i took it back also try an find out whats causing that problem so it wont come back mine was using home filtered water
