Danny, 2001 (Jul 1) What do Sea Hares eat?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4699Dear Danny,
Sea Hares are all herbivores feeding on certain species of algae. They manly feed on red or green algae and some seem to be quite specific while others can move from red to green species at different times of their life cycle. There are a few exceptions like Bursatella leachi which feeds on a cyanobacterial layer which often forms a 'skin' over the mud in sheltered waters. For more specific information have a look at the page where I have listed major feeding references.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
