[rebelprettyboy]

How should I do add a green brittle starfish to my tank? steps please
and a lawnmower blenny? steps please

 

[discus guy]

click on the side bar for acclimating and u will be fine

 

[reefreak29]

get a 5 gallon bucket
put the star in with the lfs water u may need to tip the bucket on one side
get a thin hose and slowly drip acclimate over 4 hrs
as for the fish one to 2 hrs is fine

 

[seannmelly]

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but dont acclimate them together cause the green brittle will probably eat the blenny.sorry

 

[rebelprettyboy]

[reefkprz]

make sure you feed the brittle soon after he's in the tank.

i would feed it chopped up shrimp from the grocery store but it will eat everything u mentioned

 

[rebelprettyboy]

ok thanks

 

[rebelprettyboy]

one more questoin about the starfish I promise..
How should I feed it?
Just let it sink to the bottom or with a feeding stick??

 

[reefkprz]

just drop it near him he'll find it.

 

[monalisa]

Or just hand it to him. He'll probably take it from you.
