lol now you will have extra money from the food savings!!!

I had a massive amount of them before (thousands) when I had a predatory tank tons of food and waste, and i loved feeding them (like you) but I did cut the feedings back and found the stars slowly dissapeared and to be perfectly honest the fish seemed healthier too. Trust me I know it sucks to cut back the food because its the one true chance we have to interact with our pets, so i now use an auto feeder and give 'treats' every couple days. My tank is better and fish are way better too.

sorry to rain on your parade

I should blame Tom R :wink: who sold me a dozen of sps corals back in 2008. I was so excited when I saw them hitchhiking on those frags at that time. But now after a few years later, I can't believe they reproduced into a thousand in my tank. I believe what you and Marlin65 say, I know they come from my overfeeding problem. Oh well, I will have to cope with my guilt tonight when I cut down their portion :cry:
