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

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..

ops: )

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

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

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

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

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???

Much more of this, and I'm gonna get fired.

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

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...
