I have a bunch of little stars in my tank. I think they are some type of brittle. I just noticed them today the arms are ridged. I think they must have hitchiked or something. Are all these good or bad? There must be 1,000 of them. I can get pics later, but the biggest one is only a half inch.

I have these white tentacles on my Live rock, they collect the sand. What are they?

Hey guys. I'm pretty upset with myself right now. I KNEW the proper acclimation procedures (as learned online), but I decided to follow the LFS dude's instructions instead. Why? I don't know. Lack of sleep or sheer stupidity, take your pick. The day before we picked up five trochus snails...

http://www.ipsf.com/reefworms.html I thought I might diversify my tank some with some of the items sold there...is this just a waste of money? Is it REALLY a good idea to 'diversify'?

Just got my Mushroom Nano pack from the good Drs. http://people.delphiforums.com/dwalker35/IM000257.JPG Could someone id, please? I have micro-stars, sandbed clams and various small hermits so I'd like to know before I release him. Thanks

I have a pretty good sized brittle star in my 29G and he has gone on a feather duster eating rampage:angry: ...he got ahold of 1 that had come out of his tube last week and it took him a day to eat it. (I had 4 good size feather dusters) I wasnt happy about it but I was okay with it at first...

Brett and Myself want to place an order for a cleanup crew. Anyone want in on it?? I haven't looked at where but I know Jeff likes Key's Critters. POST UP

i'm looking to add some more crittes to my clean up crew, and i was thinking to add a few mini brittle stars, you know, the kind that stays small (like 1" or so) not baby brittle statrs that grow up to be fish killers ;) can someone point me to an online vendor that sells these ? thanks! J.

is this a brittle star?? and if not or if it is.. is it good or bad? its super small.. about the size of a nickel even with its arms

.

i noticed this coming out of the liverock today. it is alive because when i go to grab its arms or whatever they are it pulls back into the rock for a few mins... what is it??? is it good?? bad??

besides lighting (I'm brainstorming/researching on that one already), what essentials am I missing? This is a 50 tall FOWLR tank, right now just hangin' out with damsels and hitchhikers(more on that later), not sure what all will come... So far I've got Magnum 350 (should I avoid the carbon...

I am fairly new to the forum/this side of the aquaria hobby. I have been keeping freshwater species for about 15years now. After getting a PT job at WOF to help support that hobby I am now setting up a small 10gal reef tank. I am running a 1x96watt coralife 50/50 fixture, an older aquaclear...

:jump3:What a great time!!! I had about a dozen people and we had a LOT of trading and buying going on. :biggrinbounce: I ended up with three new zoos, a blasto, a frogspawn, a hammer and a kenya tree. Oh, and we can't forget my new baby maroon clown!!! :ac11: :ac15: I will OF COURSE post...

I lost a squamosa clam for no apparent reason :confused: I see several mini stars on the shell of my big clam and I am wondering if they are known predators or what?? I have been losing clams over the past several months and I thought it was from bristleworms when they were dieing in my seahorse...
