candy Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Did a bit of moving stuf around today.. Some of my green hairy mushrooms had split so i wanted to move them to give them more space... Gosh they are slippery things and are hard to stick.. for ages we had to chatch them and re stick them in to a gap with our fingers grossed they would happly stick. Also my little purple mushrooms are all over the show so am eventualy wanting to stick them to one rock as they are sprinkled every where at the mo.. We tryed to catch some brissle worms but they are faster then they look.. little buggers.. And we spoted a baby star fish in the tank.. moves very slowely.. while doing all this the cleaner shrimp tryes to ambush our handss for a free ride.. Classic little critter... How are everyone elces tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm pondering where the best place is to catch shrimp. Milford beach, takapuna beach, any other offers? Also on the menu - Couple of hermits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttputt Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 The little starfish are probably asterina, a little pest starfish that comes in on coral rock. Don't cause a problem unless they breed too much!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 if there are only a few, pick them off WITHOUT breaking them. The are usually easier to pick off when they get a bit bigger (60mm or so). If you have an infestation you need to take the rock out and torch/screwdiver/wire brush them and wash the rock well afterwards. Mexican Red Legged Hermits supposedly eat them but we can't get them in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttputt Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 yep. got some of my corals back from someone who was babysitting them, and they had considerable bubble algae on the rock. The big kole tang went crazy over it, couldn't get enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
