Sea Hare in higher flow environment

I am wondering if there are any sea hares that do better in higher flow (reef) environments? I just had to save a blue spotted sea hare from my MP40 and quickly returned it to the LFS. Do the "regular" brown Sea Hares fare any better? I'm in need of some hair algae clean up.

I tried them twice and both times they found my MP40s in short order. Your only hope would be to use the foam shroud, but then you have to clean it out every day or two...

I lost 3 hares to a tunze 9040 and that's a small pink. They seem to love suicide but when they are not doing that they sure can eat and eat and eat algae. There two cleaned up my tank.

Thanks guys. Upon closer inspection it seems as though I might have Bryopsis. This explains my 4 month battle. I might have to just resort to Fluconazole.

I just made a anti suicide cage for my tunze in my frag tank for my hare.
