Hello everybody! I just bought an established fish tank with live rock, sand and some marine life in it. When I moved it to my house I did not notice anything that might look dangerous and the guy I bought it from had it for almost one year with no trouble at all.<O:p</O:p One morning I noticed...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me, My marble sea star has pinkish red stringing stuff comming out of his center. I am hoping he will be okay as he has just arrived. If anyone knows about this please help!

not sure if this is a star fish, missing a leg maybe ?? any help would be appreciated thanks

I have a sand sifting star fish that seems to have its legs starting to disinagrate and and just today 2 of its legs seem to have fallen off about halfway. I read a little about this happening when the star fish has first been put in but i have had this for about 5 months now.

I thought this guy was cool and got it from my LFS today, 6 legs and a nice color to add to my reef tank. The question is do I need to feed it? and what?

Looked over to were I had my yellow jackets zoo to find him over them pulled him off to find just one baby yellow jacket left. I also found a small one few inches over and removed him also and most likely remove anymore when theres a chance. He is a little bigger than a penny.
