    Starfish suggestions for a 40 gallon

    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

    Starfish - acro eater? Please ID

    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...

    Let the bodies hit the floor!

    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...

    New 20 gal

    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!

    Marble Starfish (Fromia Monilis) care level

    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!

    is this a fromia baby???

    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!!

    Any experiences with Serpent Stars? Fish-eating monsters, or model citizens?

    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...

    QT Chocolate Chip Starfish?

    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?

    Is this an asterina?

    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
