Sea Hares

Got a sea hare yesterday to eat hair algae. Looked like it was mowing away by the mouthful. Come night time, it buried itself in the sand so only it's butt hole was sticking out. Is this normal?

Yep, that's just what they do at night.

Thanks for responding. It came out of it's hole alright and was pretty hungry. I'm so glad I finally got something that will eat the hair algae. Looks like I have to pull the super long hair algae off because it seems to only handle the shorter ones.
