Hitch Hiker on base of FrogSpawn.....

Sounds like a good plan. I just was listening to a podcast today that mentioned that harlequin shrimp love to chow down on these critters. Of course (i heard), that species of shrimp needs starfish as a main part of their diet so there's the worry of what to feed them when the pest is gone.

 

It was a neat little creature... Just not neat enough to risk losing corals over....LOL..>>

 

My harly's would not touch them. Even when I gave them "showers" with the dam things...
:-/

 

Very true. I don't have any SPS and I've never seen them injuring any of my soft corals. For me they're a nice source of biodiversity.
(ie the girlfriend loves the cute little starfish )

 

Hopefully I got him out before he had the chance to have any offspring pop up>>>>>>>

 

Found it as you can see Geekdiesel.... Pitched him in the trash,,,,

 

That looks like one of the bad kind. Without a microscope its hard to tell ig you didnt find it eating. Most asterinas just eat coraline. some eat sps, some eat lps, some eat softies, then again some eat algae. Theres over 100 different species of asterinas, and most cannot be identified without a microscope.

 

I'm just glad I found him..... Sneaky little sucker....

 

Ive got a little collection of dried ones, haha! The kind that hitch hiked into my tank are the ones that eat coraline.

 

Me to.

Planter next to tank probably has more then 1000 in it.
