alien4fish Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 wow! cool, and its splitting too it should only have 5 points and yours has 6 could'nt tell if its good or bad ............ good luck tho Link to comment
Yves Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Looks like an asterina to me too...not too bad of a guy they mostly eat pods, they do reproduce pretty quickly sometimes to plaque porportions. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Umm, I agree with the asterina ID, but I believe they eat coralline, and maybe other types of calcerous skeletal animals. If you have plauge proportions, I have read that harlequin shrimp will help that out. Link to comment
Swedereefer Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Woke up this morning just to find him right in the middle of my green star polyp, dunno if he was munching away on the polyps, or just eating some detrius.. but i removed him.. better safe than sorry... Link to comment
Acoustic Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 To bad the guy doesn't behave. He looks really neat! Link to comment
caja Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Good thing you removed him. Be on the lookout for more. They reproduce quickly and yes, they do eat coraline and acros and some soft corals. Link to comment
