My Banded sea star has moved over and is under my bubble tip... is this safe? Do either of them pose a threat to each other?

Help! I'm fairly new to saltwater tanks and have had mine set up for a few months. I recently got a Blue Linckia Sea Star about a week and a half ago. I acclimated him per the instructions and the first day he climbed all over the tank. For the next few days he sat in one spot on the glass, I...

Hey everyone, I just got a starfish from the LFS, and no one there knew what it was and I can't find anything online that looks exactly like it besides one thing that I think is wrong (someone said chocolate chip star), and two others that I think could be varieties of it (cake or biscuit...

Some sort of Sea Star is breeding in my tank. I was too nervous to take out the bigger ones, like 5 inches in diameter, but found this baby on the glass. Please identify it ASAP- theres 4 I can see, so there must be dozens I can't. Nanocube w. newly installed Radion, MP10, Nitrate Ammonia...

I bought a coral today and found a few cool hitchhikers on it. One is a tint brittle star, 2 feather dusters and this unknown sea star. I know it's a sea star because I picked it up with tweezers and looked at it's bottom. Deff a star. It's brownish black on top with white all the way around it...

So I just moved my Trumpet coral to a new spot to see if I would get better expansion and found this little thing under the frag plate where the Trumpet was at. Is this a bad sea star or can it stay in the tank? It's clearly very small as it is inside of a gatorade cap.

Interested in putting one in my system after at least one year of maturation in a 150G tank, i'm wondering the success it would be if its in a 2" only sand bed. Anyone with that kind of sand bed and with good success?

Hi, CC sea star doing fine in my tank. I am just looking for advice on feeding. Right now I am feeding him very small pieces of raw oceanfish 2-3 times a day. I shut the pump off, he peels back, and I stick a piece of squid, octopus, or shrimp or whatever on a skewer and gently push it...

anyone have a blue linckia star? What kind of fish can they be housed with? I have some very small brittle and serpant stars but would love one that is big and beautiful such as the linckia but I'm concerned my eel or harlrquin will pick at it.

Can someone please help me identify this starfish. I need to know if it is reef safe and if so what to feed it. I have googled everything and can not find a match. I'm getting desperate. I don't want it to hurt anything.

Hey everybody, woke up this mornign to find this crawling on the front of my tank. It's small (1-2 mm), white, and looks kinda like a 3-legged sea star. It's very slow. Anybody know what it is?

Hi, I purchased a Chocholate chip star fish two days ago at the local petco, I noticed a greyish hole in the bottom of him when i got it but didn't really think anything of it. I thought it was from an injury. Now today he is looking really sick and the hole grew to about two times its size...

Just wondering if this is normal behavior for a serpant star. He found a cave and just chills in the cave... all the time. I think he actually left the cave once (at least witnesses). He moves his arms and recoils when we shine our mag lite in there :lol:but other than that, nothing. He does eat...
