GraffitiSpotCorals March 14, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave w March 15, 2014 Share 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.

Squishie89 March 15, 2014 Share 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 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 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.

Brewski March 16, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
