    Emergency livestock transfer, some with no acclimation

    Updated photos of 200 Oceanic

    It's 7 feet long. The only thing "new" is the pumps for the skimmer and return. Everything else is second hand, I was lucky, everything was in great shape, the tank, skimmer, lights, sump etc. etc. I undoubltedly saved ALOT of money.

    How long have you gone without seeing your brittle star?

    YEARS!! I bought a harlequin star, similar to a brittle star, several years ago, and I see it once every 8 months or so. Usually when I move something around and it's been living under it.
