0pius Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Are there any special needs to keep starfish in a tank? or are they pretty hardy creatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have about 10 in my tank, different sorts. They do eat snails though, which is a minor inconvienance. pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Oh that's interesting, when I had a green brittlestar, (which I got rid of for trying to catch fish), he also got pretty excited about snails, grabbing them & moving to his mouth, but I didn't think he could actually eat them thought it would be too hard. Scared crap out of me the way he crunched up mussels though, I certainly did not let him get a grip on my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 They have real cool stomachs that they "inject" outwards from their body onto their food. Looks very bizzare. Acually these might be different from "normal" starfish. I saw things similar to this in a diving photo from the sounds - black and white bands just like a sea snake. Wrapped around "Black coral" - does anyone know why its called black when its very clearly white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 No dude, these particular ones have teeth, bone and shell crushing ones. they scarey! But your right about starfish at the beach I know they envelope prey by extruding their stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 does anyone know why its called black when its very clearly white? The supporting "skeleton" in the centre of it is black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
