Question

Brittle star

well i have a 8 gallon biocube that i recently rearranged the rock so that i could have some huge caves and i threw in a huge barnacle rock that my clowns took over as a home and i was wondering if it would be safe to throw in a small brittle star. i like them cuz they look like aliens

. my inhabitants are two clowns, xenia, zoas, feather duster, and a bristleworm. am i safe to throw one in or is my tank to small(thats what i fear)

He likely will not find enough food laying around as waste but most will eat anything. They don't add much bioload but your system may already be overloaded w/ 2 clowns. __________________ Jeremy http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f7...ef-119089.html Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.
