lol i wasn't...asking you... i was answering your question from above!!!

CELACANTHr where do you get your water from? tap? I use gallons from walmart that is RO mudplayerx How many fish do you have...what types and sizes? What are your feeding habits? How much water do you have flowing per hour? What are your water parameters, specifically ph? Do you have a skimmer...

I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank... which I've had for around 6 months. I am having serious algea issues. Three weeks ago I did a 25 percent water change... because my nitrates were high. The nitrates are now at 0-10, I cannot really differenciate between the two colors as they are so close...

yeah water is fine and so isnt the lighting, I up graded the lights before I even purchased the anenome because was told the original ones wouldnt work, so I got better ones, anyways he is doing good, never seen him shrivel up like that before. thanks for the help

got a pacific long tenticle anenome, had it about 2 months, everything has been good, this morning I turned the lights on checked out all the fish and everything, then my wife went in just about an hour ago and noticed the anenome is all shriveled up been this way now for about 45 minutes, also...

Thanks ophiura, I'll def keep you all posted on what happens. He hasn't moved around that much at all, not disengrating or falling apart yet though :( Jes

Okay, so while its good to confident, there is such a thing as being over confident.. I thought just like you thought until last night when my "very hard to take care of" blue linkia ejected its stomach out and tore it off on the rocks. Good luck though.. maybe if you're lucky, you will be the...

Thanks again guys.. hopefully FINGERS CROSSED that mine has the WILL to do it :) Just gotta have faith.. I want him to live.. and you're right pitbul, its a good thing I didnt kill it..I would of been so sad.. I'm glad that I waited until he had seen the picture and then could tell me what he...

no, that was before I sent him a picture. Then he emailed me saying this "Jes, Your Linkia has indeed inverted his stomach, a sure sign of stress. As I said on the phone, the best thing you can do is to leave the animal alone. Linkia stars will take nutrition right through their cell walls...

thanks guys... I dont know what I'll do, guess I'll think about it. I talked to the guy that I bought it from but he said that he thinks it sounds like it released its bowels... who knows.. he said that I should get a chemipure filter and put it in the tank... and that hopefully it will live...

yes pitbul, i took it out of the tank.. whatever it was, its in a container.. I am waiting for the guy I bought the starfish from to open up today, I'm going to call him and see what he says, maybe he will give me my money back if it is dying. I think I told you, it was an order that he had...

Thanks, escape. He hasn't died yet, I checked this morning and half his body is on the window and half on the sand. Isn't that weird? If that was his stomach, you think he would of died already, but he hasn't.. I wish someone knew for sure what it was. Sorry to hear what happened to yours...

the starfish has moved around, to the other side of the rock, just checked on him, he's still moving, that thing is NOT moving though, just laying at the bottom of the sand.

I posted this in another forum as well, but figured maybe someone would know something in this one. I got a blue linkia star fish in a 55 gallon tank, with 75-100 pounds of live rock. I bought him from my lfs that I trust because he really knows what he's doing, he has his own saltwater tanks...

thanks pitbul :) i wonder if i should post this in other forums, i wonder how long it will take her to see it, or if someone else would know, i'm so worried about him now :(

Ohhh, I just went back in there, and if its stomach, its completely off the starfish... I dont understand. The LFS told me that if it was his stomach, he was fine, that they sometimes do that.. anyone help me on this? Please.

Okay, I have a 55 gallon tank, with around 75-100 lbs of Liverock..I got this Blue Linkia Starfish 3 days ago... well Thursday , so two nights and 3 days we have had it.. I was in there checking out my tank... and the starfish was fine, I had taken some pictures, went back in like 15 minutes...

MonaLisa: he molted today... I woke up this morning and it looked as though I had two shrimps in there, I didn't realize that they molt their entire bodies... my hermits just do a claw at a time... it was neat to see for the first time... I think he's more of a nocturnal shrimp though, he...
