GraffitiSpotCorals March 14, 2014 March 14, 2014 I thought I would show off the brittle star prison. Every night at dinner time they bang their cups against the bars begging for food. Hahaha Dinne Trays!
dave w March 15, 2014 March 15, 2014 I would think you have enough to keep a harlequin shrimp. Although I think they prefer linkia starfish I think they'll eat any kind. I gave one as a gift to a friend once and it ate every nudibranch and snail in his 55 before eventually dying of starvation. But I'm not sure if the starfish aren't prettier than the shrimp.
Origami March 15, 2014 March 15, 2014 That's incredible, Paul! Sent from my LG G-Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition
Squishie89 March 15, 2014 March 15, 2014 Do fish not eat em? I thought I saw my hippo eat one As far as I know they don't eat them. Really not a lot there to eat. My fish are not very big though.

I don't know if that is to me, but that is such an interesting idea! I would worry though because H. shrimp eat the tube feet of the stars and these guys are not big on the tube feet.
GraffitiSpotCorals March 15, 2014 March 15, 2014 We had harliquen shrimp and never saw them eat brittles or even the white kind. Neither have much on the legs.
Brewski March 16, 2014 March 16, 2014 crazy!! I have not had that type of...well infestation and that looks way creepy!! Almost good enough to use as a horror scene in a movie!!
Brewski March 16, 2014 March 16, 2014 wouldn't mind taking a few off your hands if interested. I have two big ones but would love to have some minis for the refugium as well as cleaning crew
CoralAquaCulture March 18, 2014 March 18, 2014 Great shots. I've had my fair share of brittle stars but not as many as shown.
