I posted a question about hermits earlier and JohnnySalt mentioned that the sand sifting starfish I had were killing my live sand. I just needed a little clarification. I thought that what made live sand live was the bacteria. I bought the sand pre-packaged so I wouldn't think there are any copepods in it. Are the starfishes eating the bacteria? So far they are doing a great job keeping the substrate clean but if they are doing more damage than benefit, I'll get rid of them
