So i have had a sea hare for several months and today he wasnt moving and was slimming from his rear. When i touched him he was very stiff . So my question there are many causes to death in aquatics but could it have been something i did or didnt do ? Keep good params feeding etc is well taken care of . any thoughts ?

Maybe it just ran out algae to eat and starved. I hope you took it out of the tank, I heard they can be quite toxic when they die.

Sorry to hear of the death and hope it doesn't cause any problems.
Before you purchased the Sea Hare, had you heard the truth about them, that they should be used only as a temporary last resort(more snails are much better), that they easily die, get sucked into powerheads, chopped into pieces and can actually Nukenuke the tank? Dead
