Ira Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Volkster, I think you've discovered a new species. You should name it Hermitus Starius Volksterii :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volkster Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Volkster, I think you've discovered a new species. You should name it Hermitus Starius Volksterii :bounce: It wasn't ment to be My darn cleaner shrimp "cleaned" em up!! Yanked him out yesterday :evil: I tried to save em, chased the shrimp away and moved the starfish's leg into a hide-out with it's shell. Came in this morning...gone... maybe it crawled in deeper and is amoungst the rocks??? Here's hoping!! I thought it would be ok...it's been in the tank for almost a month now and the shrimp never did anything to it...it checked it out in the beginning but that was about it???

Volkster Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Here's an update - very interesting: Thought this guy had died: vanished about a week later after this shot, my cleaner shrimp made a real meal out of him...was hard trying to save this fella and eventually gave up? 6 Months later... Moved the tank, left some excess LR in a buck full of water from my water change. 2 days later, come home after a game of squash, looked into the bucked....and to my surprise what do I see... a few of these guys: I can't think of anywhere else these guys could have come from?? I have introduce 1 or 2 small pieces of LR from other hobbiest - I could have got it from there??? These little'ns look like Bristle Starfish to me, very simular to the ones I put into my tank 6 odd months ago??? So who knows... starfish are known to regrow. What do you guys think?

wasp Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 i think that's a different species although not 100% sure. There are a lot of small ones like that in my tank that never get any bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
