I love starfish, but they have a notoriously poor survival rate in aquariums. They only starfish I've successfully kept for a prolonged period of time are brittle stars. 1 Quote Link to comment

It seemed to be doing great before the “chopping”. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think big tanks have enough microfauna to sustain it, but small tanks don't. I kept a chocolate chip star for 1+ year in the sump of my 30G once. But I have to manually give it a cube of mysis or brine every few days. But since it was in the sump, which was full of LR and pods, I suppose it did have some form of microfauna for it to nibble on. I daren't try a fromia or linkia in any of my nanos. They won't last - the tanks are too small to support one. They're really pretty though! Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Fromia finally died from its wounds. So that was a bummer. The new Tang is fitting in and eating like a champ. And the new Elegance killed its first snail. Good times. 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Perhaps you could try a brittle star - I find them hardier. New fish looks gorgeous! 1 Quote Link to comment

Thats what I was thinking......I have a lot of the tiny brittles so maybe it will do better and be less prone to getting near a powerhead. I love the Tang! He gives the tank so much life. 1 Quote Link to comment

I must be really ####ing annoying because mine commit suicide by swimming into bubble tip anemones within minutes I haven’t tried for a year or so, maybe it’s time for attempt number three. I tried in the 45 and then this reefer. I think this time I would get a big-ish one, since the clowns bullied the first. 1 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 MP40 wins again. RIP Sixline Wrasse (the second one) For those keeping score: MP40 - 4 Critters - 0 4 2 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 The Elegance Coral is doing really well.......Star Lord has been hanging out in it which I thought was strange but it doesn’t seem to bother either one of them, so whatever. Everything else is chugging right along. 3 Quote Link to comment

I got a baby Maxima Clam for my other tank, two different Acans, a Birdsnest, a Blue Acro, Jedi Mind Trick Monti and two different Stylo’s. On a seperate trip I bought a Purple Monti, Orange Zoas and a Rainbow Fairy Wrasse named Gary. I also lost two Corals while on vacation...... the pretty Fox Coral and my Bubble Coral were covered in a sand dune when I got home and I do not think they are going to make it. 2 Quote Link to comment
