Blunt-end Sea Hare
Dolabella auricularia Picture of Blunt-end Sea Hare

Description: The Blunt-end Sea Hare (Dolabella auricularia) is from a family of sea hares with a slightly different appearance than many of the more common Aplysia sp. sea hares found in the aquarium trade. Their back end has a flat "disk" surrounded by a short fringe. These sea hares have a mottled green or brown appearance and can blend in very well with rockwork and algae. Sea Hares are sought after for their voracious appetites, feeding on macro and filamentous algae. They will feed on dried algae if the live algae supply dwindles and should be fed to avoid starvation. These slugs are reef safe and will not eat corals or polyps

Tank Recommendations: Aquarium Pump intakes, wavemakers, and drains must be screened so harm can't come to the Lettuce Sea Slug, so care should be taken to screen these off. Like all invertebrates they are sensitive to higher levels of nitrates and can not tolerate any copper based medications.

Food and diet: A herbivore, if regular feedings of Algae are not possible from growth in the aquarium, it will need a supplemented diet of lettuce or dried sea weed.

Level of Care: Moderate

Acclimaton Time: 1+ hours

Reef Compatibility :Yes

Approximate Purchase Size: 2" to 3"

Picture of Blue Dot Sea Hare

Description: Known in the aquarium trade as the Blue Spot Sea Hare or Blue Dot Sea Hare, the Bursatella leachii is a popular sea hare from Indo Pacific waters.

Covered with bright metallic blue spots on a dark brown body, they usually grow to between 2 to 3 inches.

Tank Recommendations: The Blue Dot Sea Hare is not often seen in the aquarium trade. It should be housed in a tank with live rock and a healthy population of algae. Aquarium Pump intakes, wavemakers, and drains must be screened so harm can't come to the Lettuce Sea Slug, so care should be taken to screen these off. Like all invertebrates they are sensitive to higher levels of nitrates and can not tolerate any copper based medications.

Food and diet: A herbivore, if regular feedings of Algae are not possible from growth in the aquarium, it will need a supplemented diet of lettuce or dried sea weed.
