wilson Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 almost had a heart atack just before i was about to turn out the tank lights and the brittle star had its arms in my gobys hole i took the top of the tank and lifted the rock (the hole gos under the rock) the goby quickly got away now that it had an exit do you think that the brittlestar was trying to eat the goby or just get into its hole??????????/ :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Our one hasn't shown the slightest bit of interest in the other tank inhabitants. maybe there was uneaten food or something else of interest in the hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 lol sounds like we've ended up with a batch of killer brittlestars!!! If I lose another tank inbabitant, I am going to make the assumption that it was the brittlestar, and move that little bastard to a new home Or maybe cutting off his little arms might be a better punishment? That'll learn it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 i almost pulled off a few arms when i pulled it out of the tank and chucked it in a ice cream container i put it back in the tank tho after it got a big feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Heh, i overfeed my tank quite a bit, so I know its getting food from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 That's awful :evil: :evil: nothing of ours has been touched - we are feeding it though (some chopped mussel, and it gets some stray brine shrimp off the sun corals) Is it time to say goodbye to it then?

Fmxmatt Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 How do I know it was him tho? I'll be keeping a close watch tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yes hard to know I agree. Do you feed the brittle star directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 how was the zoas looking before they got eaten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Looking awesome, was stoked to have them cuz they were such a cool colour And I've fed the brittlestar once, and i'm assuming its eaten the blenny body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 :evil: :evil: :evil: All my new Violet Zoas are gone!!! What!?!?!?? All of them! They could have detached and floated off somewhere - I'll got a couple of bits that just won't attach anwhere and travel around the tank.

Fmxmatt Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I thought maybe that would happen, but I glued the buggers to a rock, and if I look closely, theres still a bit left on the rock. I guess its possible it happened but since mysterious happenings have been going on since the introduction of Mr Brittlestar, he's under suspicion!

tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 It could be that it has knocked them off as it looks for food around them - I'd check for them in the back corners of your tank and under overhangs where there is little water motion all shriveled up in the dark.

tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Nope But I found a pure white zoa in with a clump of the brown ones that I relocated from the original cluster, I'm assuming its dying? (The rest look fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Possibly, or else if its also small its a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Oh they actually come as pure white? it looks cool and it opens and closes as though its healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 They often colour up later, or else it may have purged all of its Zooanthellae (sp?) when it was moved - if it opens and closes, it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
