star fish

I am having trouble keeping up with all the fish waste that my Coral Beauty likes to produce....I am debating getting a starfish as part of my cleanup crew but so many forums have different opinions on which starfish do best at whatever thing. I wanted to be able to describe my aquarium and get...

Hey everyone, I just noticed this the other day and to me it looks like a star fish, the only thing is I have not had any star fish nor have I added anything to my tank in over 6 months Where could it have come from and is it a star fish or something else? I also had a red mushroom appear...

Has gotten too big for my 70 gallon tank. I estimate about 1 foot tentacle tip to tentacle tip. Looking for a new home. Located in southwest Ohio.

Just wanted to share something cool that I haven’t seen discussed often. Tank is about a year old. Started off at 20g and upgraded to 55g couple of months ago. Got this orange starfish about half a year ago. When it dropped its limb, I wanted to remove it at first, but we’ve noticed it’s been...

Just another day in the neighborhood.

I’ve got a large banded serpent star fish that has successfully reproduced. What would you suggest I do with the babies. They love getting under my magnetic float scraper. Can they survive in the sump?? Will they stay in the sump?? I would love to take them to my LFS for some credit…… thoughts…….

3 questions. 1Bought a starfish but forgot to ask what kind it is. Anyone know the name of this star? 2 She is always on glass or back of tank and never on the rock. (Except for when I took this photo obviously this was first time she ever stayed on rock and did not stay long) Is this...

testing waters to see if there is anyone who is willing to send asterina stars to me and how much people want for them. I'm looking into getting harlequin shrimp and am looking for a supply before I go through with the purchase. I have checked with my lfs and some friends who are in the hobby...

Could adding top off water affect the salinity enough to shock sea urchins? I assume no, since i have a few asterina stars that are fine with it but those are also very hardy so I wanted to make sure. Thinking about getting a tuxedo sea urchin since I like them so much.

I’ve been considering a serpent or bristle sea star. Does anyone know if they’ll prey on sexy shrimp or my feather dusters?

Hey guys. I have a 50 gallon tank I love the inverts. Starfish shrimp, snails, crabs. Can you over do it with inverts. I have two peppermint shrimp that come out at night. I want to get a cleaner shrimp also would love a fire shrimp to give a splash of red. I figure more cuc would balance it...

i have a serpent star fish that I got from Dallas north aquarium, it started of ok I guess and then about 4-5 days in now he started to lose a pice of his arm/leg/tentacle and so I monitored him and the next day a little bit more had come off. I called Dallas north and the guy told me he thought...

What do you guys think? Thinking of upgrading to a hob aqua clear 50 for more flow, currently running a 20 with a surface skimmer attachment.

Hi guys, Saw this star while browsing my LFSs, can’t seems to find out what it is. Seems to be brownish in light, black in a dimmer light. Both pictures are of the same specimen Any ideas? Thanks guys!

This is my first post so I’m not sure I’m doing it right but I haven’t seen any other posts and I can’t find any answers anywhere... I got a chocolate chip starfish about a month ago and it had been fine until today, it’s brown chocolate chip spikes have turned orange.... does anybody know...

Sorry for the long post but some opinions would be helpful in figuring this out. The past 2 weeks my fish have unexpectedly died. I have 2 ideas why but information online is conflicting. My aquarium; 90 gallons, 20 Gallon sump, its about 4 months old. I had a 75 gallon and upgraded to this...

Hello! I just purchased 2 frags and 2 different starfish fell off. Could you ID them, are they bad? TIA!!

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...

All of the sudden out of no where I see this little guy. Should I be concerned? I know for a fact that I didn’t add him.

Hello all, just recently purchased a red fromia about 4-5inches across in length. 3 days later, I find this somewhat close to where the fromia hangs out. is this a pest or a fromia baby? I don't know anything about fromia reproduction, so I am very skeptical about it being a baby. help!!

Part 2 to TBS "The Package" arrived on Thursday, and they included a Serpent Star (about 4" across). I've fed him a cube of Mysis Shrimp twice now, and he comes out pretty quick even with lights still somewhat on to take it. But honestly, he scares the heck out of me. I'm also worried he'll go...

I'm still fairly new to the hobby and have yet to find my go to store. Do you guys know of any great places that always tend to have a wide variety of livestock? I'm mostly looking for inverts like star fish and anemones. All the places I've found usually just stock basic coral and large fish so...
