CBS- relocating

[DracoKat]

Hi all,

I want to get a pair of Harlequins to remove asterina stars. I am concerned about my CBS going after them, so I want to remove it.

1. Best way to get it out?
2. Would it be OK in my 9g nano cube with my clowns or should I put it in my sump? I may rehome, not sure yet. I like him and had him for nearly 2 years

Can't answer your question on rehoming your CBS. Did try the Harlequin shrimp. I only had one in my 60 gallon. He went through the Asteria starts quickly then starved. The Asteria stars came back. There were probably some in my sump or brought them in with something else? Just felt bad about using a beautiful looking creature as the Harlequin for such a task. I say if you want one you need to borrow or look to long term housing. My experience was early on and learned from it.

Thanks @kirbuno ! i do plan on feeding other stars long term. I am not too worried about that
