hi robyn , i can tell you that the first 1-2 years were very frustrating for me. But remember that in this hobby there is a learning curve with pretty much all aspects of it. The quality of your LFS, and where you get your guidance can be a large contributor. I have a bigger size tank, and i...

does OP = "Original Poster" ? i am not trying to cause panic, i am trying to bring to attention my situation and to learn from the experience, and learn how to solve it. like you'r sig "live, learn, share" since i have been removing these stars daily, i am seeing less of them, sometimes a day...

this just a theory of mine, that i have no means of testing, but i think that when star finds a suitable host "meal" it will leave chemical deposits at the site, maybe in the droppings, and the smell of which signals others in the area that there is food to eat there. i think this because how...

btw thanks for those garf links, i did not think to look there - here is the letter i wrote to leroy : Hello, my tank developed a population of these nasty critters. but i think they are a variant of the ones you have pictured in this article : http://garf.org/news26p2.shtml#STAR mine tend to...

does he watch at different times of night / early morning with a red lense flashlight? you find many interesting things like that.

too bad the dip wont kill acro eating asterina stars ><

ok i can get a pic, but of what? i have several stars dried up i can take pics of. i have caught the stars several times on the corals themselves, leaving a trail of eaten polyps. i can take a pic of the gash in my leather that this big one started to eat. the disc on the more visible of...

hey thanks for the input. while i do have a fuge they would be fine in, or a frag tank...these stars never come out, i only ever see legs at night. i would have to tear down the whole tank, unless i try a trap perhaps... plus i am not 100&#37; that these are the culprits for this more recent ...

Ophi, my battle with these infernal stars has come to a head and i need your advice. i have one of the species of asterina stars that have tried there hand decimating SPS , i think zoanthids possibly and now lastly leathers. i pull them out by hand when i see them, which keeps the population...

sorry for the slow response - i am pretty sure that is exactly what i had. this thing rusted up on the little metal bracket on the inside and froze. unless the one i was using was meant for air, but it looked just like that.
