Fmxmatt Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I was trying to feed my starfish a piece of shrimp this morning, and as I threw it in its direction 1 of the cleaners came screaming out of nowhere, grabbed it, and buggered off behind the rocks Pretty sure it molted last night, and released its little babies into the water. Was looking with the torch and could see hundreds of little tiny funny looking things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am forever telling them "NO! Get off the Goniopora and stop pinching its food! BAD SHRIMP!". I have had mine 3 mnths, both have doubled in size and are quite large now. They eat just like a tang.

coelacanth Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 mines a pain in the ass when i feed my sun coral :evil: crustaceans are always too greedy. Give him a big bit of food that will keep him occupied while you get on with feeding the other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
