Derek's Custom 180G SPS Reef Tank

[reeferkeeper420]

Asterina stars or something like that...most are good but some will munch on zoas and palys..

What he said ^
Harlequin shrimp will eat them, but the thing they eat is stars so once you run out you have to get them to a new home ASAP

Never had a problem with them eating anything. You will find them on corals, etc. but only when there is a dead spot for them to feed off. I have never seen them eat at any living tissue before. Some people say they can be bad, primarily the 6-legged ones, but, I don't think that is the case. They are one of the first ones to feed off dead coral tissue so people may perceive that as them actually causing the dead tissue. Harlequin Shrimp will definitely eat them but as Poseidon mentioned you must move them once they are gone or buy starfish for them to eat.

I found I had tons of them for a while then they slowly start to disappear. My guess is they overpopulate and begin to die off from lack of food.

got any frags that need a new home?

Well, it's official, tank is shutting down. I got it looking really nice but we are going to be moving this year and I don't want to take the tank with me. Our dream house just went up for sale and it's a large property so I just won't have the time to look after my reef tank on top of it.

All corals will be on sale shortly. Corals first, then rock, then fish will all be up for grabs over the next few weeks.

Sorry to hear you are getting out Derek. I understand with the house though having just gone through a move of my own, congrats, that is exciting news! You can always get back into it when things settle down.

 

[davesolo29]

You were my first local reefer friend. Congrats on the new dream home. Can't wait to see the future dream tank.

this is truly a shame but understandable maybe you will return once everything is settled

 

[spyd]

You never know! There is a real nice opening in the basement that would fit a tank perfectly. lol

I'm sure when you're ready. Members will help you out with frags. Especially cause you gave such a great deal.
