    If wherever you got that chocolate starfish from told you it was "Reef safe" you better find a new place to shop....,

    Just avoid the green brittle stars, they are known to become fishermen.

    I love my sand sifter star. Between him and my Watchman Goby they cleaned and are keeping me sand spotless clean. The Star is very cool to watch him move about the tank and in the sand.

    No problem... Sand sifting stars are cool but you rarely ever see them..
