    Well.. sad news I woke up this morning to my yellow coris wrasse that I just got because the other one jumped was dying in the sand bed.. He lasted about 15 minutes from when I woke up and the emerald grabbed him so quickly :( I really don't know why either all my other fish are perfectly dandy...

    Aw. I'm sorry starfish.. Sounds like he just couldn't handle the stress from the move.. It happens. I'm sorry though, I hate losing fish..

    That's pretty cool. Do you have any idea about how big it will get? lol.

    Vinny's ID looks very close.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Excellent news about the starfish doing so well. You need to keep us updated, it would be nice to be able to recommend a starfish that readily eats and remains healthy in the average aquarium. Good Job!

    They had another one that looked like mine, it was maybe .. 4-5 inches across.. there is way of knowing if it was the same species though. But that would be my guess

    Thanks! I am very happy about it, Im always iffy on the starfish, the only thing that sucks is I do not think these starfish are very common amongst this hobby, we had a hard time IDing and finding info on the little guy. :( it would be nice to recommend a starfish that does well. I don't know why linkias are so popular, they rarely do well.
