starfish

Hello everyone After 1 week of setting in my rock, I have seen one starfish asterina. Today its been 2 weeks of setting in my rock and I’ve noticed another one. How fast do they spread and can they cause a problem? Do they leave some sort of mark and if so, how is it meant to look like? Thanks, Aga

Hello there! So not going to lie here I'm a little concerned about my father's reef tank. He started a tank last year in December, and after I considered it fish friendly. He went out and got a couple fish and a couple corals, threw them in the tank and called it good. I visit when I can but he...

Good evening everyone. I was hoping that someone could shed some light on a situation for me. I've got 2 sand sifting starfish in my 90 gallon and I've had them for about 5-6 months. Over the last two months I've noticed that they are a lot less active. They certainly move from one to place...

I want to add an easy care starfish to my 40 gallon breeder tank. It's been running for 2 years. So far no Corals, but will add in the future. I was thinking about a sand sifting starfish. Any suggestions. In my tank: Reef crabs Conch snail Turbo snail 2 clown fish 2 dartfish

I noticed recently that two frags of the exact same acropora were healthy one day, then completely white a few days later. I checked parameters and everything was stable. Al the other frags are fine. Then two days later another millepora in the same section of the frag tank experienced the same...

While the debate is still out on whether these seemingly innocuous echinoderms are bad for a tank, I would say without a doubt that they multiply like rabbits. I've been pulling these out of my tank for months since I found more than one on my birdsnest corals. This count in this pileup is 128...

I got this red starfish today and just noticed a white substance on its arm and a lump which I think is somthing it ate

I set up a new 20 gallon tank today, just for fun. I added a small cleaner shrimp, cc star, HOB filter, light and sand. Will these two cohabitate long term? Will they have to be moved? thanks in advance!

This thread is for my new Blue Phataria Starfish ( Phataria unifascialis), So far everything is going well, It ate some chopped White Fish while being acclimated (I watched the stomach slowly consume the food) and now it is in the rock-work. I will be sure to get pictures once a week and every...

Hi Guys, Wondering if anyone has any success in keeping this starfish? I have been wanting to get one (either Monilis or Millepora), but there has been a mixed reactions from reefers, on whether it will survive in the tank or better left in the sea. Appreciate any feedback thats for sure!

Hello all, just recently purchased a red fromia about 4-5inches across in length. 3 days later, I find this somewhat close to where the fromia hangs out. is this a pest or a fromia baby? I don't know anything about fromia reproduction, so I am very skeptical about it being a baby. help!!

Part 2 to TBS "The Package" arrived on Thursday, and they included a Serpent Star (about 4" across). I've fed him a cube of Mysis Shrimp twice now, and he comes out pretty quick even with lights still somewhat on to take it. But honestly, he scares the heck out of me. I'm also worried he'll go...

Can someone tell me what these are? I know the one is a starfish but what kind?

Came home to this today. Video here: https://vid.me/nzMlr

I buy Chocolate Chip Starfish from LPS to feed to my Harlequin Shrimp. Is it necessary/advisable to QT the starfish? Are they Ich/parasite carriers? Can/should copper be used on them? Or is it safe to add them directly to the DT? What about water droplet transfer? What is the correct procedure?

This guy came inside an empty snail shell. I think its a mini brittle, but want confirmation before putting him in.

I have a huge outbreak of starfish and I have the ones that eat algae and are real small but these have thin hair like tentacles and literally every hole in almost every rock in my 125 gallon reef tank has their little tenticles hanging out and I know their carnivores cuz when I feed my fish n...

After 3 weeks in the tank, my live rock finally revealed a couple hitchhikers. They are starfish of some kind, look pretty close to asterina, but would like confirmation. I have spotted 2 so far, just wondering if I should go ahead and remove now. Sorry for picture quality
