The Pygmy Sea Hare is a small flattened Sea Hare which grows to approximately 10 centimetres in length. It is usually a mottled green or light brown but can range in colour. The posterior half of the animal is usually broad and rounded gradually narrowing anteriorly to the head.
If it becomes startled, it may release a purple dye to repel attacking fish. In the home aquarium, the Sea Hare will need a good chemical filter system to quickly remove this toxic dye before it causes problems.
In the wild, it is usually found in shallow areas of seagrasses and coral rubble, preferring the shaded areas. Cover from the lights in the aquarium should be provided. It requires a large area in which to move. It prefers an aquarium with live rock and open sandy areas so that it can graze on algae. It is sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and will not tolerate high nitrates.
