CronicReefer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You're reading comprehension is lacking. I could care less about a starfish being used as food. Please satisfy my curiosity and tell me why you decide to randomly troll post on a reef forum. Is your life really so shitty and lame that this is what brings you pleasure? 4 Quote Link to comment

onefang Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This thread is awesome.. FWIW.. petco's website has them for relatively cheap. They even have a "bulk buy" where you can get 3 for 22. Shipping is a little steep at 30, but if you order a buttload the shipping doesn't change at all. And, if you use "welcomemar15" coupon, they'll give you 20% off. Total for 6 (2 x bulk buy) of them came to $65.87 shipped with the coupon. 1 Quote Link to comment

bbales Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Interesting posts here.... You could always try making a refugium with asterina starfish! I loved my harlequins! I used sandsifter starfish too 2 Quote Link to comment
Weasel Baron Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 They eat any echinoderm tube feet, right? Why not just get a bunch of pincushion urchins? They're a lot easier to care for than sea stars and can survive off ulva alone, and are cheaper to buy 1 Quote Link to comment
onefang Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Interesting posts here.... You could always try making a refugium with asterina starfish! I loved my harlequins! I used sandsifter starfish too I was talking to a guy at my LFS who has a couple of Harlequins, and he was saying that he has a 5g tank that he threw a cheap HOB filter on, and is using it to grow asterinas in. Feeds them algae wafers, and they multiply so fast that he doesn't need to hunt food down anymore. Would be fun to try just as an experiment to see how long it takes them to reach biblical plague levels 4 Quote Link to comment

Would be fun to try just as an experiment to see how long it takes them to reach biblical plague levels I've got quite a few asterina and they do grow pretty quickly. You will see one grow a few extra limbs and then it will split in half, just give them a rock with some algae and you will be good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So, I rolled into a local Petco tonight to check them out. They actually have some nice salt tanks. So the little girl there asks me if I need anything and I ask her if she could get chocolate chip stars in on a regular basis as I was thinking of getting a pair of harlequin shrimp. I was told they can't sell them to me since they will be used as feeders. She said it would be too cruel. I asked about the freezer full of mice and rats and the hundreds of feeder goldfish they have. She said sorry and directed me to a couple reef shops hours away. I tried to inform her that starfish are incapable of feeling pain, have no brains, and are a low order animal--she didn't believe me. One of the first Petco employees ever to actually give a damn about something other than a paycheck, only to be incompetent enough to not know her stuff. Wow. 6 Quote Link to comment
CJJon Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Sounds like you started this whiny thread to gain some "support" for your case. You didn't receive it and now you are even more butt hurt. What are you talking about? Whiny thread? Huh? Support for what case? Even more butt-hurt? 1 Quote Link to comment
amphipod Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Several online suppliers sell them no questions asked. If you buy several starfish, the shipping cost is reasonable. still like the wig+mask dear, it's what I would do if I had that issue,or send a friend to buy them. Quote Link to comment
amphipod Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You're reading comprehension is lacking. I could care less about a starfish being used as food. if you could care less leave, just my opinion. Also way to go being mean, trolling is mean, if you want to troll give the makeshift lounge a shot, that's the mostly self contained cesspool of this website. 3 Quote Link to comment

Tried asking an off topic question in the lounge, first response told me to eat a bag of dicks. oYo would be right at home. The rest of civilization will stay out here... 6 Quote Link to comment
onefang Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You're reading comprehension is lacking. I could care less about a starfish being used as food. By the way, I think you mean that you couldn't care less. Not to be a grammar nazi, but if you "could care less", it means you have a little caring left for the particular subject of focus. At the very least, If you are going to get personal you could insult using proper grammar and phrase. Then even if you are being an asshat, you can do it knowing you did it like a sir. Trust me. I am an expert at being an asshat. 11 Quote Link to comment

(oYo) Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 What are you talking about? Whiny thread? Huh? Support for what case? Even more butt-hurt? Oh now you're asking questions. Your OP is nothing but a whinny communist rant. You tried to cry here and didn't get 100% support then cried more which was pretty funny. Are you looking for advice or just crying about a little girl taking you to school? Quote Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great. Then he can more effectively source the food and not bring a private business in to his choice. This isn't the ocean. It's all fake and everything will die for our pleasure. Yeah, why feed anything what they eat in nature......? Pssh, what a jerk 2 Quote Link to comment
