unless I am much mistaken, and someone please correct me if I am, they are labeled as difficult to keep.

They will mow down hair algae. They eat a LOT in a day, I mean, an unbelieveable amount of algae in a single day. They are useful to keep and then pass around a reef club but it takes a big tank to keep them fed. They are very cool critters. They are not a small animal though.

The will not eat algea strips either right? I thought about getting one but you can't keep them alive very long. At least that was my research on them.

Are they those things that look like giant slugs?

 

[my way]

I saw a listing on the auction site for a "Dwarf Sea Hare" is their really such a thing or is someone selling a small Sea Hare and pawning it off as a dwarf?

I have 2 in my tank, they are very cool, they do a great job with the hair alge in my tank.
