TiGs Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Hey, My LFS has some feather starfish which I believe are Comanthina nobilis and I was wondering if anyone has any experiance with them? Here is link to pic http://www.wetwebmedia.com/crinoids.htm Link to comment
technoshaman Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 LFS gets them in occasionally, they claim they don't order them but who knows. If you can get a undamaged specimen and can devote a lot of time to making sure it gets fed enough maybe - general consensus is best left in the ocean - a species even well staffed public aquariums have difficulty maintaining. Assuming you read the whole WWM article so I'll just add this link which is pretty comprehensive on crinoid biology: http://www.nova.edu/ocean/messing/crinoids...ds/w1title.html They must be doing something right though , crinoids are pretty successful having changed little in millions of years of evolution.

TiGs Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 They seem difficult to keep. My tank is still too new so i'm not getting one anytime soon if I am. I was just curious about them and wanted to know what people thoughts are. That link has a lot of info:) Link to comment
technoshaman Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Np, I won't be an eco-nazi just giving you a common sense warning of how delicate they are. As for the link, well ESPI would be proud I'm a grade a search a holic on the internet and wake up with my finger on the Google button Link to comment
