You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

@Fish Styx please avert your eyes from this barehanded shenanigans.

It's good for the boy. It'll put bristles on his chest!

I have plenty of bristles on my fingers. They itch

Well I haven’t kept up with this tank well and the asterinas have returned and killed most of my zoas and a lot of my pipe organ

Also one of galaxias which was growing and seemingly doing well almost completely bleached overnight. Oh and most of my RFA’s disappeared. Uggh

I guess the good news is the SPS is still booming and my shrooms and trees seem to be growing like crazy too. Oh and the clam is doing awesome too.

If the stars are on the zoas. They might go for acros next. Its still coral tissue
That sucks big time.

I think it’s time to get a harlequin shrimp. No more games. Though I worry for my brittle star.

Brittle star have a sump to shortly live in? That's a complicated situation.

Theyre awesome. If there's a way to protect him.

True
It could join my sand sifting star. Just have to catch it. At the moment the asterisms seem to like eating corals they can face suck. They have been all over the shell of my clam though and that does worry me.

Yuh, time to eradicate. I don't know anyway to trap them sadly. They surface at lights out.

Actually should be easy, hides under a lone rock right at the front

Yup, bristle should be easy to lure out.
Trapping the asternias... i don't t think there's many options.

Ohhhh
Yeah i used to do manual removal and they were under control for a while but then burst back recently. Hate the little brats.

Anyone else hate something they once thought was cool?

The picture I think says it all but for the longets time I thought asterina starfish were these cool CUC that just ate algae. Then they suddenly turned. Took me a while to figure out why my zoas were dissapearing. Anyone else got a fish, invert, or something else that went from cool to awful menace?

If they're eating coral, it's go time!

 

[Goaway]

I just saw that pic. I'd murder those. Too much red. Not sure why the red pattern ones like coral. They aren't allowed in my tanks.

I am so sorry. You gotta get the war resumed.

Hold up, is that Galaxaura in the last photo?

I believe it's a organ pipe coral, unless you mean the skeleton?

Or some random algae?

 

[Slocke]

Yep its a pipe organ. The second to last has my galaxeas or whats left of them. The gold bleached overnight but at least my favorite is still doing well, the purple and green which is growing really fast.

Oh man, that's pipe organs with no polyps? I though it was Galaxaura macroalgae:

Pink Galaxy*

Pink Galaxy (Galaxaura rugosa) is a semi-rigid dome shaped macroalgae that is just incredible looking. Growing to between 3 and 4 inches in diameter it can be attached to any surface in your...

One of my favorites, but does not do well against ulva and bubble algae.
