Sapphire Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well we bought some mussel last night and fed the brittlestar. Once the mussel was put in it only took a minute or so to come out and devour it - it ate more than I thought it would! everything fine this morning.

wasp Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 When I got rid of my green brittlestar after I saw it nearly eat a fish, the other reason was cos I was feeding it so much it was causing pollution to the tank. In fact it was eating more than everything else in the tank combined. I was feeding it so much to try to keep it away from the fish but it never really got full & always kept trying to catch them regardless.

Sapphire Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 No it's been fine - i've just feed it a bit of chopped mussel once a week or so. Seems to happy now - it doesn't rush over now when we feed the sun corals either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhacque Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 .... although it got the blame from me at 3 this morning for 'eating' our coral banded shrimp (Jacques) after I saw Jacques' lifeless (and meatless) corpse on the other side of the rock the brittle star was hiding under.... ummm, Jacques had shed his outer armour, he was fine..!!!! Upset me though! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upset me though! :oops: The first time it happens, you don't realise it. Just looks like the shrimp has died, because the shell still has colour, and then, you see it alive and become HAPPY!

Fmxmatt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 My 2 did the same, and I knew they would shed shortly after being transported..... but there was still that little bit of worry which made me go hunting for them with the torch.

Fmxmatt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Shall I call my Yellow Tang Bubbles then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhacque Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Shall I call my Yellow Tang Bubbles then? That's your choice! The Nemo Jacques was a cleaner shrimp! Our sponge is called Bob and our little star that used to be called Patrick split in two, now Pat and Rick! That's Sapphire's idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 haha My Blue Linkia star is called Patric too 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've always wanted to call a dog "sh*thead" Just for the sole purpose of being at the park and screaming "COME HERE SH*THEAD!!!!" I got the idea from a Steve Martin movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 This thread makes me want a marine tank. But that would be an extremely bad idea for me. I have no clue about marine fish, except for Nemo is a clownfish :lol: Are these things star fish?? They are so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Are these things star fish?? They are so cool. No they are not starfish (Scientifically speaking) but they are very similar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Shall I call my Yellow Tang Bubbles then? Maybe! We take terms naming things, but there is one rule - no fish is going to be called nemo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 After the incident where my clown jumped out of the tank and headbutted me, its earnt the name "Zero" Who can decipher that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Umm.. zero brain cells? Zero the hero?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nah it was a better name than "Kamekaze" so I used the name of the planes the japs used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
