yOyOYoo Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I saw a bunch at my LFS. The lady didn't konw what they were called and said they are reef safe. There were tons of them in one tank, they are red, about 1inch in size. There were a couple in the display "nano" tank and she said they did not eat corals. Link to comment

yOyOYoo Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 for anyone interested, Ron Shimek from Reefcentral posted: Hi, They are probably small Fromia milleporella. They generally live a few months in captivity before dying. Their diet in nature is unknown, and they don't seem to do well in tanks; probably because they can't get the food they need. There is a possibility that these animals are surface "browsers," that is they eat small organisms and biological films off the surfaces of rocks and such. A 12 gallon tank is far too small for any sea star of this nature, there simply is not enough surface area in the tank to produce enough food to maintain such an animal. __________________ Link to comment
