Free Asterina stars

[LeslieP]

I have a whopping load of asterina stars in my 125g. They aren't harming anything but if anyone wants some, I have plenty to share for free.

I would definitely take some but they would die in shipping to MN here where it feels like -10 out

 

[LeslieP]

I feel for you - it's not that cold here yet, but it's coming and I'm not looking forward to it!

I'm pretty new to salt... but I thought those were pests... is there any benefit to them in a tank?

Food for harlequin shrimp

 

[LeslieP]

There are some varieties that may be detrimental to corals but these are not that kind, they are harmless. They eat the algae on the rocks and the walls of the tank. And provide food for harlequin shrimp

Are they tiny?

 

[LeslieP]

They run the whole gamut. Some are tiny "star" fragments and some are ~1/4" across and full stars

Are you going to the December meeting ?

 

[LeslieP]

I haven't decided yet - I would like to but it may depend upon my son's basketball schedule. I can either bring them if I go, or I may be able to find someone to bring them for me.

See if dan still had his harlequin shrimp.

 

[fishcrf450r]

If you go i would love to have as many as you would spare .

 

[LeslieP]

I'll see that you get some. Phil, I'll text Dan - thanks.

 

[fishcrf450r]

Thank you .
