someone ordered me a basket star instead of a feather star, and i THOUGHT their care was pretty much the same as feather stars, but it snatched a full krill i had put in for the hermits to eat, and seems to be gnawing on it! do they eat/feed off of large things? seeing it with the krill makes me worry that it might even catch live little fish! i want, and plan, once my other problem is solved, on having a tank full of little gobies and such, so i don’t want something ELSE snatching up all my fish!

I’m familiar with goniopora having been one of those corals that’s best avoided by most people, but ive been under the impression that, among lots of “best avoided” fish and inverts of the past, that gonios were much more sturdy and hardy these days. Are they actually better than before, or are they still one of those things that’s at best, on borrowed time in a tank, and might be good for 4, 5, 6months, and then start to waste away? If so, is it known what the specific and unmet differences that have caused them to die off when everything else is doing fantastic? Do they absolutely have to be fed in order to survive long-term?

Does anyone have any experience with flashlight fish care? I’m especially interested in treatments. Bioluminescent things like flashlights and pinecone fish can’t take many normal meds, so I’d like to find out any info that could help in those circumstance. These are also both delicate fish, so that also makes the med situation more difficult. I’m not aware of ANY meds that pinecones can safely take. Of course nothing antibacterial. I’ve heard it’s a good idea to treat all new flashlight fish with prazipro, so I guess flashlights can handle that, but that’s the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
