Dolabella Sea Hare - Hanging out at rim of glass

[sanzz18]

Hey guys. I bought a Dolabella seahare to help me get my field of GHA under control (of course on top of manual removal). First day I put the little guy in there, he appeared to be eating it. Last couple days he has been hanging in the corner of my glass near the waterline. He is alive cause I see his head moving around and his mouth going at the glass. Will he eventually get back down and get to back to work on the hair algae? Should I move him and place him on a patch of GHA on the rock? Thoughts..??

Hi, yes I would gently move to area needed as needed...

MIne was just doing that literally coming out of the water! I thought he was dying looked like he was eating the dried salt off from the water edge. But crawled back down and business as usual.

They move pretty fast and work all night so there isnt much reason to manually move them.

Mine does that too, but it parks itself in a corner, and stays there till the lights come on. Then starts on the algae during the daytime. Also it has cleaned all the Algae off of the Silicone Seams. Went after that first. Can they be stung by Coral and Anemones?
