Stupid Starfish

Ok, so i have been battlling my tiger brittle for the past half hour .
My overflow has where it takes water from top of the tank and bottom of the tank.
Well apparently he crawled his way inthough the bottom.
And was sitting there in the back of my overflow. I tried grabbing at him, didnt work... I tried snagging him with a coat hanger... Didnt work...
Finnally i just gave up. I pulled the intake tube off the bulkhead and flushed him into the trickle filter . Scooped him up and he's now back into the display.
Wish i would have though of this 30mins ago...:-/

 

their pretty hardy and he should be ok. a lot of things we wish we would of thought of thirty minutes ago.

 

O yea he will be fine, I ripped one of his legs off last year and its fully grown back.
LOL wow! it sounds like i mistreat him or something.

 

Haha I had a cleaner wrasse in an overflow for weeks. I could not get him out no matter what I did. Where the tank was, it was hard for me to get my arm into the overflow- much less see where my net was/where the wrasse was.

Finally I had the same brilliant idea to pull the stand pipe out and flush him into a sock.
