Hi all I recently grabbed a sea hare and he's been doing fine, he's small so his hair algae dent is not huge but it's new. He is slow but then disappears in an instant.
Anyway tonight I noticed my cleaner shrimp cleaning in his poop hole. Is this something I should be concerned about our normal behavior?

I want to make sure this won't make him ink or anything. Now for all I know he may do this at night anyway when I'm not watching but this time I caught it.

Any way is this normal?

Thanks
 
I have a pr. of very aggressive coral banded shrimp and a seahare.

never had a problem with my sea hare inking. Only when you first catch them.

They let out more ink than a octopus. As long as you leave the sea hare alone there fine.
 
I always stayed clear of those sea hairs , I was always concerned about them fouling up the water column
