![]() I had a cowrie ones that loved to eat my star polyps at night.
![]() I have a large brown brittle star with 10" arms and can see how they can eat fish, just feed it well. I also have a black spine urchin. Epoxy everything down and make sure everything is mounted and no problem mine does a great job on algae. |

![]() Just a thought here you say you have a 800 watt metal haldide maybe that is adding
to the algae. I do not know much about MH maybe someone who does can chime in. Does sound like you have a powerful light on it. How long does it stay on? |

![]() Wattage doesnt really affect the algae as much as color spectrum does. a 250W 5500K light will grow much more bad algae than a 20,000K 400W
