Joel used to get these in all the time at the old shop shouldnt be too hard to find

mdcoblentz · « **Reply #2 on:** January 27, 2010, 09:43:49 »

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #3 on:** January 27, 2010, 12:03:08 »

I get them on a pretty regular basis. None of my suppliers had any this week. If you are really ineterested call or revive this on Monday of next week and I will see if they are availabe. They generally run right around 20.00. If I can get them on sale, I will put them on sale.

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2010, 17:01:08 »

Should be good to go have a few on order.

Anyone have any tips on these guys?

I am using a long duration drip to accumulate them to my tank water (just seemed like the right thing to do)

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2010, 15:48:46 »

Yes sir you are on the right track with the slow drip. They are sensitive to parameter changes. Also, I always pick them up and I have read not too use a net.

How hardy are they? What do they eat?

Kenn · « **Reply #15 on:** February 10, 2010, 17:53:51 »

Check with justin at Aquatic Specialist. Mine ROCKS !

micki · « **Reply #16 on:** February 10, 2010, 18:03:35 »

That does look pretty cool!

Kenn · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2010, 18:13:17 »

Tried a piece of Nori and it ate it right away

hope this holds true because I dont have THAT much hair algae to keep him going all the time. I've been keeping just enough for my court jester goby. So far a perfect solution.

mdcoblentz · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2010, 19:28:16 »

is it making a dent on your hair algae?

rayviv · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2010, 20:46:22 »

How much algae do you have? I have quite a bit at the time. Was looking for someone to borrow one form for a short time. Let me know if thats you.

UD Flyer · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2010, 22:50:07 »

Does the ugly bugger have a head or eyes? Its certainly interestingly ugly.

Awwww cm'on he's a pretty little thing! Look at those beautiful bright blue dots!

Kenn · « **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2010, 12:11:35 »

UM ...Justin, I need another one

Koralia 2 = 1 victory
Blue Dot Sea Hare = 1 defeat ( no more expected due to being blended at high speed )

... good news is ... New Skimmer works great !

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #23 on:** February 15, 2010, 13:08:04 »

Ahh, man that is aweful! I can get you another....

lazylivin · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2010, 13:56:27 »

Try rubber banding a bit of large cell foam around the intake part of the Koralia and any other intakes you have. It will slow flow but should work while you have the Blue Dot.

rayviv · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2010, 16:45:35 »

Why cant you use a net with these creatures?

ohioreef · « **Reply #26 on:** February 15, 2010, 19:05:34 »

Justin had the cutest little sea hare when I was in there today. Wasn't a blue dot, but he was cute.

Will they eat the red turf algae?

The flat butts do!...

I would imagine that the blue spot would too. I actually have pics on my phone of a sea hare mowing the red stuff down. I have witnessed them eat all sorts of algae, even the algaes that they do not supposedly eat!

I should have asked when I was down there today, but didn't think about it until I got home and was reading this thread.

How much are the "flat butts"? Thinking of the little one.

The nets can damage their sensitive bodies and can remove their slime coat.

Yes, he does. My wife and son were intrigued (in a good way) by those guys when we were up there.

I feed them a couple peices of algae wafer while they are here and they do eat that.

jd · « **Reply #43 on:** April 07, 2010, 16:31:27 »

Do they eat macro alage? cheato or caulerpa? Also, have any instock?

Aquatic Specialists · « **Reply #44 on:** April 08, 2010, 02:08:29 »

yeah I have seen them eat caulerpa, but not cheato, and yes I have some in stock. I will also have some more sharknose for you...
