milhouse74 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I was looking for a suggestion on a star that can be kept in a 10 gallon nano. These are the other things I would like for it to get along with: Clown Fish Anemone LPS softies Nassarius Snails Blue Legs Turbos So anyone have any thoughts or suggtestions? If I had to, I could eventually move it to a larger tank. Would like something that can stay in there though. Link to comment

sandsrfr Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I've had this one in my 18gallon for quite some time now. It frequents the glass and crawling all over my live rock. You can usually find some really small ones at the lfs's nowadays (well at least here on the west coast). Good luck Sands Link to comment
milhouse74 Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 He looks sweet, what do you feed him? Anyone else have suggestions? Anyone know if a chocolate chip gets too big? Thx, milhouse Link to comment
MillerLite Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 STAY AWAY FROM THE CHOCOLATE CHIP STARFISH. From what I have heard, it isnt quite reef safe. I have a red bristle star and a green banded serpent. Both starfish can grow quite big, but are relatively cheap and would be easy to trade back to LFS for smaller version when this happens. Also, the green banded serpent and green bristle star can be both fish eaters when the get big, so be careful on these. Get them small and they wont grow too fast. Also might want to do a search on this board. I just saw a thread a week or so ago with this very same question. Good luck! Link to comment
NanoAmyDee Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I am for the serpent star. You may not see it very often, but it does a great job. Everything I have heard is to not get any star that has bumps or points like the choco chip. They are not reef safe. Link to comment
sandsrfr Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I don't feed my star anything. He eats the algae off the glass and scavanges the live rock/sand bed all day (he skirts around all my corals and hasn't done any damage to this day). Seems to be doing very well! Sands Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 what kind of star is that sand? Link to comment
sandsrfr Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Red Fromia Star Pretty much the common star ic here at all the lfs's Link to comment
ch0ch Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I suggest a small Linkia... they can get to big for a ten gallon but take quite a while to grow full size... I have one in my ten gallon an its doing great and looks great. Link to comment
