Mia.....

It appears that i have a few friends missing. no signs of them for 4 days now and kinda concerns me. whats missing..... well a couple hermits are gone, 2 fiddler crabs mia and who knows what else now... infact i think i found a flamming scallop shell today empty that wasn't around 2 days ago. seen it layin on the ''floor'' today.now we all know by know by my many posts my tank... on the contrary new species was found 2 days ago. BRITTLE STAR. im talkin the size of a dime-nickle arm to arm. im goin to assume the fiddlers crashed with one my emeralds as it 2 was laying belly up. not the molt the crab. Ive been told im over feeding but im thinking they might b starving. i feed 1 finely chopped up salad shrimp one in morning one at nite.... on occasion i use a small pinch of flake food as well in place of the shrimp.. im using t-8 lights and twin 55watt 10000k bulbs and dont get much algea growth on the rocks... serpent star dont venture out much that i get to see but when i drop the shrimp its moves to get some but well the damn domino eats it all
what should i do please help.

 

I always had problems with inverts until my tank got to be very well established. It took me probably over a year to feel like I wasnt messing everything up. If its not food then its either water quality or you have a murderer.

 

well like i sed i cant seem to find them.. i do have a sally-lightfoot,serpent star, and as the days go on i find newer hitchhikers in the tank.
