.. bad indeed .. I think i'll decide against it and stick with poly-ox .. but anyway .. once it has done its job and cleared out all of your algea why don't you take it out before any harm is done? I would get one but my butterfly would annoy it

Sea Hares are the best hair algae eaters you can buy. Basically they'll eat it nonstop until there's none left in your tank. At this point you need to find some other way to get him algae or give it to buddy with some hair algae. If they have no algae to eat, they will eventually starve to death. Most people that buy a Sea Hare have it die within a few months due to starvation. When they die they will release a toxin but as long as you're running a decent skimmer and you're using carbon this toxin isn't really a problem, just make sure you get the body out as soon as possible! lol All in all, they are definately worth buying! Good luck!!!!

I have had my 2 seahares for over 2 months now, they eat alge strips also. They are great little things to watch, they stick together, and they clean my glass. They can ink, but I have had them ink before, not these two, and they did not kill anything in my tank. Like stated above, just make sure you have a good filter system running.
