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!

When I feed mysis to my various stuff(auto changed it to "when I feed my sis to my various stuff..." lol)I soak it in garlic for hours, usually enough for the liquid to be gone and just plump garlicky mysis(my fish love mysis with their garlic), and without thinking had fed the mysis to my corals as well. They seem to be fine and as happy as with non-garlic mysis, so I continue to when I forget to get extra for them that I don't soak. Ive been looking it up and I can't find anything other than people talking about feeding garlic stuff to the fish in the tanks, or adding some extract to the water, but this would be a significantly higher dosage of garlic, than that. Is this risky? Can garlic soaked foods hurt/damage/ kill corals? I don't do it often, maybe once every week or 2, but if it's safe, or even good, I would definitely do it more often! Does anyone have any info or thoughts on the matter?
