Crakeur Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Not a big fan of them. They will move around your corals, shrooms and whatnot and their bristles can damage corals etc. Also, they may go after small fish and shrimp if they aren't getting enough food. They are cool as hell to have and fun to watch (and play with if you can get them to crawl up your arm) but they will only add the potential to cause harm. Link to comment
BustytheSnowMaam Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi, I have mini-bristle starfish in my tank- they're about the size of a quarter and great sand-sifters. They're not very charismatic but they are reef-safe and kind of fun to look for sometimes. Also, I believe blue linkia starfish are reef-safe. Tasha Link to comment
Crakeur Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I have tons of the mini brittle stars. I didn't consider them when posting the way I did because of their size. Linkia's are reef safe but not real good for a nano. they need a decent amount of sand to move around in, they get big and I have heard they are hard to keep. Starfish are in the same category as anemones in my opnion. Leave them in the ocean. Link to comment
