red serpent star

Shot a couple videos of the tank a few weeks back. Thought I would share since it is Friday! First video is of my 10 year old Red Serpent star. He was one of the first inverts to go in my tank and he is the best. Always a big hit when people come over. Plus he is the reason I never find...

One of my soft corals was salivating all over a piece of acropora... so i had this pencil eraser sized piece of hard coral covered in soft coral slime that I pried free from the brain coral. It floated to the back of my tank and my serpent star grabbed it and swallowed it. I was amazed but it...

Spotted my red serpent starfish mangling a snail a couple hours ago....what caught my eye was the crab on TOP of the serpent star, then I noticed that the serpent had a snail underneath it....I only assume the serpent was sucking the life out of the snail at the time, and the crab was looking...

:banana: Hello all just wondering what my options were,I currently have a huge blue brittle star and I want to add another any ideas would be great.

Well, thanks to a careless moving company and an awesome wife I get to join in the fun. The tank is being delivered tomorrow at noon. For any of you who didn't my other thread the mover broke my 65 and the wife said it was a great time to upgrade. The plan: 220 corner flow tank stand and...

I bought one a few days ago, and now hes found where my fire gobie stays inside the like and he just stays their. Is this ok? He could be comming out at night I havent checked. He's alive, I poke one of his tenticals every now and then to check. He's about 8 inches tentical to tentical, with a 1...

I am moving and must sell my 75 reef setup. I am asking $2000.00 but will take any reasonable offer. It is a complete setup including lighting, protein skimmer, lots of live rock, corals, 4 happy fish, various reef critters, food and essential chemicals galore, and all the other stuff that makes...

my tank has been running now for almost 4 months and every thing has been fine . about a week and a half ago i started to get cyano bact ( told its all part of the system maturing) in my tank but all parameters were good . well to day i did my water tests and my nitrates are at 10 and bordering...

i bought 8 turbo snails from an LFS and over the last few weeks 1 by 1 the snails became sluggish then died but all other creatures are doing great . how long do T snails live for and how big do they get ? reason i ask is all snails were pretty large ( golf ball size ) and i just wonder if they...

well, no one seems very opinionated about their favorite sand sifting goby, and that's fine, but now I'll ask a different question. my 58 gal tank 36"x18"x20" currently has in it: 7 mexican black turbo snails 2 larger more hungry what-the-LFS-called "Turbo snails" 3 red legged hermits 3...

I have a chocolate chip and a serpeant sea star, do I need to do anything to "specifically feed" them? or will the left overs and fish crap suffice?

hello everybody, my name is David. i own a 90g lps/sps reeftank that sits on a 48" cypress stand with matching 10" canopy. i run two icecap 430's with four 46 1/2" uri super actinic and two 46 1/2" uri actinic white. filtration is provided by 110 lbs fiji ultra live rock, 40 lbs fiji live sand...

Well, it breaks my heart to do this, but with the current state of my life, I can no longer financially support this hobby of mine. I am hoping to move the whole system, so I am not parting anything at this time. The following is a list of equipment, followed by a list of lifestock...

I'm doing a complete tank overhaul and I need to get rid of everything in the tank. Most of the corals are hard corals. There are some large rocks covered with purple, blue, green, and red mushrooms. Prices for the corals are $20-150. Fish: Purple tang-$50 Flame angel-$50 Captive raised...

I bought a red serpent star from my LFS. When I woke up, it was missing two arms! I have heard an occasional clicking coming the the aquarium. Does this sound like a dreaded mantis shrimp? The clarkii clown and falco hawk are aggressive, but I can't see them ripping a star apart. There are...

I bought some snails from Dale (Eichberg's Exotic Reef) a few months ago but have now upgraded to a larger tank and need more. If anyone from Atl places an order with him let me know and I'll give you some money toward gas if you'll pick up my stuff for me or if I end up going over there I can...

Hey everyone! First off, good luck to those in Isabell's path, including me :(. Well after reading some of the archives I've decided that I want to reduce my feeding schedual down from 2xday to 1xday and eventually once every other day. This is probably contributing to the HORRIFIC hair algae...

Hello again. I would like to have a starfish in my tank but am not sure of the best kind to have. I think I dont want a serpent star or a brittle star. I do like the linckia starfish, but ive heard they are hard to keep and ive also heard they're easy. I also like the sand sifting star...
