Dolabella auricularia, also known as the sea hare or gray sea slug, is a highly valued Aplysiidae for its exceptional performance in combating filamentous algae. Its unique morphology, with a shell reduced to an internalized dorsal lamella, makes it an interesting invertebrate to observe in the aquarium.
This specimen is recognized as the largest consumer of algae in the reef marine world. It spends most of its time grazing, making it an excellent natural cleaning agent in aquariums overrun by unwanted algae.
Note: the Dolabella auricularia is strictly algivorous. If your aquarium does not contain a sufficient amount of filamentous algae, maintaining this species becomes very complicated, if not impossible. It does not feed on dry or frozen food.
Upon introduction, drip acclimatization is recommended. A healthy Dolabella auricularia will start moving quickly in search of algae as soon as it arrives. It is harmless to corals, fish, and crustaceans and is perfectly suitable for a reef aquarium.
The Dolabella auricularia is a species of choice for aquarists wishing to naturally control algae. However, it requires a suitable aquarium and an exclusively plant-based diet to thrive fully.
