Anyone have a Nudi I could borrow?

Odd question, but anyone have a nudibranch I could borrow? I have a ton of hair algae in one my one tank I'm having a hard time getting rid of. I know I'd get rid of it eventually, but I wanted to tackle the issue before I moved everything into my new tank and new system. I'd rather not have the hair algae take root there if I can help it. I'd buy one, but I'd be worried about keeping it alive longterm...don't want to starve it.

A lettuce nudibranch will eat bryopsis, but not common hair algae.

I believed she meant sea hare.

Why not address the reason why you have hair algae in the first place?

[MaeganWink]

Yes, I meant sea hare.

 

The reason is my current system doesn't handle the nitrate load well enough. The new system will, as it's not just a simple hang on the back like I've got now. But again, I don't want to bring over the hair algae to the new system.

 

Found someone to lend me one, so this can close now, thanks guys.

I used Flux Rx a week ago. Completely killed off all my bryopsis and reduced the hair algae tremendously. NO ill affect. Just need to take out the macro algae.

 

I tried the sea hare multiple times and they keep disappearing (flow, predator, etc.) before they get rid of the problem.
