I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I don't have many of them but when ever I see one on a zoanthid polyp I remove it from my tank.

But the large amphipods are probably those who ate your zoanthids. They come out at night and chew on the zoanthids. Check ou at night if you have them on your zoanthids.

Trust me. It was the stars. They either ate them or smothered them out.

And to add to that... They also block light on SPS. I was constantly basting my sps. They would leave white patches on the tissue.


At night with lights off... You could easily find 300+ on the glass ālone. Not counting what you could see covering the rocks. Once you get too many. The algae supply runs lower. Then they go after other things.

It matters not to me what others do with their tanks. The debate on safe or not is only for those who don't know the damage they can do first hand.

So go ahead. Debate. But if you want to make sure, take them out.

Everyone told me they were safe too.

Good luck !

Well, I counted legs and I have 6 legs on my starfish and I have to say two of my zoa's are already not looking too happy so I think that I will have to go on a starfish hunt. Thanks for all the info.

I have a ton of these in my tank too always thought they were harmless. Never could figure out why my zoos always disappear on me now I'm sure this is the reason but how does a guy get rid of in the high hundreds of these? Will they hit up mushroom colonies too? As zoos and mushrooms always disappear in my 180g reef and my other corals all grow like crazy. Help thanks.

Harlequinn shrimp will eat them. But once they are gone you will have to feed the shrimp starfish as thats all they eat. Or take it back to the store you purchased it from. It'll starve to death.

I have done some reading on the blue linkia that suggests they may actually eat aster is stars and was wanting to get a hold of some to see if my linkia will eat them

Just google blue linkia diet there is pictures of them eating asternias

If anyone in the red deer area has a bunch of these I would actually like to see if I can feed them to my starfish
