Hey, I did have a message.

PM'ed ya back.

I finally clued in to the "Sally Jo" reference.... :roll:

I have starfish that look like the ones vilified on GARF, but they have never posed a problem for me.

I remember many many years ago, a discussion about these stars on rec.aquaria.marine.reefs, Mike Noren was saying there were species that were coral predators and some that aren't. I beleive Delbeek and Sprung say the same thing somewhere in their TRA books: some OK, some not.

The ones that I have, because they divide by fission, are almost always in some state where half the star is regrowing and thus lob-sided.

I have them in all my tanks. Never seen one on a coral. They seem to do a pretty good job of keeping the glass "reasonably" clean... (for certain they do a better job than I do.. :oops: )

I am afraid I don't, too esoteric for me. :?

I promised I would say nothing about possible errors, so I did not. :D :wink: :wink:

Ah yes, the infamous Leroy and Sally Jo.... :roll:

They get letters from lots of cool people like Chubby and Imogene Tatum.... :lol:

Bob, Sally Jo is one the folks over at GARF, and she has a page somewhere that shows these little starfish, and claims that they are predators of SPS.

What's wrong with my sentence? I thought it a perfectly good run-on sentence. Please stop dangling your participles at me. I will type, in, my; posts? as, I, see: fit. So there!

And don't forget....if you get bored the GARF files are good for a long session of amusement for one and all... :shock:

Has anyone stopped laughing at this yet??? Have you seen Bob's participles??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Much more of this, and I'm gonna get fired. :D :lol: :oops:

It is not the sentence, but the "beleive', and "lob-sided", I know I promised, but for the betterment of all, I must explain. :D :D

Deb, if you're interested here is a thread on RC about Asterina sp. stars..

BTW, it's in Dr. Ron's forum, so proceed at own risk... ;)
