Concerning message #19743:

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your quick reply, indeed it was a spectacular sight. The algae that they were eating was a grey/ green colour, which is the green hue seen in the photo around the sea hares. We were diving with one of your other fans Danny Van Belle, who is a professional video photographer and he took a lot of video footage of the sea hares.
Best regards
Ann

Dear Ann,
Thanks for the clarification. Yes that is the layer they normally eat. I misinterpreted what you meant by 'clump' of algae.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
