-1 million on the linkia. You'll never have enough food to support one in a 15g tank, IF you can get it to survive initially.

If you're really looking for a small starfish, try a small fromia star, but it will probably invitably starve to death.

Porcelain crabs are cool beans. Watch them wave them little fans all day!

If you can find some small conches (I have 1 fighting conch that's just under 1"), they're neat looking snails to watch too. Funny little eye stalks and proboscus mouth always kissing everything.

If you're not dead set on the cleaner shrimp (ie, can get rid of him), you can get a peppermint shrimp - they're neat since they look like they're alwyas dancing from side to side.

Go for an orange-lip or silver conch. They freaking awesome and have a ton of personality.

Red Cave Shrimp, saw these little guys on the JL new and noteworthy section. I have never seen one in person but they look cool, do well in groups apparently. $20/ea

O frig, sorry i didn't respond. I didn't get an email notification. I've got some questions now that i have read some of these suggestions.

1. What does the care for a harlequin require? I am going to make my 45 gallon tank a fuge/ frag tank. So just wondering if i would be able to raise starfish in the fuge section of the tank.

2.Won't conchs get to large for this size of tank?

I think I am gonna get a couple pom poms cause I think they r some cool dudes!

Hehehehe... Harlequin's are some mean starfish hunters. They even cooperate in pairs to take down big starfish. So, umm... if you're planning on raising starfish in your fuge you'll be able to keep harlequins cuz they'll have lots to eat.

What kind of starfish where you planning to raise? Asterina?

Only some conchs get huge. Stick to the silver, orange-lipped or fighting conchs. They stay small.
