nassarius snails????
has anyone had any problems with nassarius snails, just bought some new ones today and i think that they just killed my sea hare

 

[saltyreef7]

nassarius snails are usually great in a tank taking care of unwanted waste and such... What is a sea hare..??? Ive never heard of one, what size is your tank, and how long have you had it set up?

I dont think the Nas. snails could have killed your sea hair. There a harmless snail. The sea hair probly just saw his reflextion in the glass!! There the ugliest things in the world, but there great algea eaters.

I'd agree that it is unlikely that your nassarius snails would attack and consume a healthy seahare and I'd also agree that seahares are a touch on the uuuuugly side....

What exactly is a sea hare?

 

[wax32]

A kind of mollusc, eats algae. The thing in NMReef's post.
