where to buy sea hare or lettuce nudibranch locally

[astroboy]

I have a hair algae problem. Can anyone tell where where to buy sea hares or lettuce nudibranches locally? Or online?

 

If anyone has a suggestion as to what critter I might buy to eat this stuff I'd appreciate it. I'm running GFO, have done big water changes, have brand new MH/actinic lights that I run 6 hours max, and have no fish, so very little feeding. An Avast skimmer which sucks up alot of junk. Chaeto in the sump. Mg is at 1600. 

 

This is a pretty new tank, up and running for four months. 

 

I've put a black sheet over the tank for 5 days at a time and the darkness does knock the algae down to some degree but it keeps coming back better and stronger than before. 

 

I'm pretty much at my wit's end....

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

I saw them at Blue Ribbon a couple of weeks ago.

I bet you most LFS could order one in for you. What are your phosphates looking like?

I just suggested QR on another thread for another topic, but QR had a few lettuce nudibranches about a month ago when I was in there.  Didn't see a sea hare, but I wasn't looking for that.

I think Incredible Corals had a few in stock last weekend. Might check them out.

Move your power heads around, more flow towards it may help

Sea slugs (there is no such thing as a sea nudibranch) will do nothing for your hair algae.  I had hundreds of them and used to raise them.  Here is an article I wrote about them.  But they are cool looking
