New Additions and some fun shots..
 

Well my Lawnmower Blenny is finally, after one week starting to show his face a little more around the tank.. so I took a couple pics of him. I also bought 4 sexy shrimp yesterday and a blue linckia (don't flame) Enjoy !

(heh, pics had to be taken with flash cause the bugger blends in so well with the rocks :mrgreen: )

For size reference, the tan colored tube you see to the left of the sexy, is the tube of my hawaiian feather duster... these guys are extremely tiny, but extremely cool :cool:

:biggrin:

wowzers those are some nice pics!!
where did you get the sexy shrimp from???

haha thank you .. I got my sexy shrimp from Big Al's .

Very nice pictures. Good luck with the Linkia - have not heard too many success stories with them in small systems so I hope yours does well.

Well... I would hate to lose this starfish due to my own stupidity (not knowing they are IMPOSSIBLE to keep...) so maybe I should put this guy up for sale....

May I ask.. why are they so hard to keep? What is it about them?

As of right now he's not too, too active, but active nonetheless . I just don't want it to die like I said...

And thank you :smile:

Those are awesome clear close-ups :biggrin:

Dis they have more of them I wonder :question: :question:

From what I have read nobody really know what they eat or require to stay alive. Try searching reef central or look for posts by Green Bean who seems to know a lot about them. I'm not flaming you for getting one just trying to pass on what I have read. I really hope yours does well - I think they are awesome creatures and who knows maybe I will try one in my system as well. Keep us posted on how he is doing.

Bob, I was there yesterday at like 2 30ish.. they had 4 left.. give them a shout.

Ruth, I never thought you were flaming so no worries haha.. but yeah, I will search up on RC and hope for the best.. I'll keep you all updated

WOW :exclaim: great pics. :mrgreen:

i would just feed sinking crab/lobster pellets, my 3 shrimps, blue lobster and all my crabs eat it.

thanks Manny.

where can I get some of these pellets? I am willing to try anything really

i have some hagen ones..wardley makes some too >.<

i have a big thing og big als brand pellets, and i have a lil "salt shaker" type container believe its called crab bites... every invert eats em

Sweet.. I'll have to go get some and try placing it under this guy.

Thanks guys

Here is a link to a thread on RC about starfish. It also contains a link to an interesting article on keeping them.
