Oh you’re talking about the asterina… I’m trying to get them going too. Biodiversity and all. I very much want the coralline however.

Oh right, you got a leyunare. Iwinder if they eat asterneas too?. My leu and chrysus gobble those up, and any limpets they can find.

Guess what? My Leucoxanthus started showing green in her face! Let the transition begin!

They are a very rainbow like fish when it comes to the face. I really can't explain the amazing colors they display.

Hopefully you'll see it soon.

I remember seeing pictures of yours early on when it was starting to transition. Such awesome colors!

Once he gets big enough, assuming he becomes a super male then he sure will.

There are several types. Not all asterneas are the same. But, identifying the pest over the one that isn't. Can be a bit of a challenge or gamble.

I get it. There's a lot of dangers in our reefs. I've had my share. From questionable syllidae worms, colorful bristle worms and a brittle star that ate over 700 in fish until i found out where my fish were going.
