Cool pic !! do they come a run'n when you drop a star fish in ?

 

[fishlovr]

Yes indeedy! They come a runnin'. They can smell one from quite a distance It's fun to watch them lumber (they don't walk). Here's one more.....

i never knew such shrimp existed...i got a headache trying to figure out wtf they were looks pretty cool, but what do they feed on? i would feel bad killin starfish to feed those guys

 

[wrassecal]

They are lookin good Glad you got the right combination and they are thriving

 

[travis truman]

how often do you feed them?

 

[aggie05]

I think that is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. Trully amazing, feel free to post pics of them any time.

No need for species only and they only eat stars (fromia and linckia are preferred). Most I have seen love Choc Chips. I just can't bring myself to intentionally kill a fromia or linckia star, and I can't bring myself to buy a Choc Chip (I hate the way they look) so no Harleys for me

Thanks for the replies, guys. I feed mine one starfish about every 2-3 weeks depending on the size of the star. It bothered me at first to give them stars but my urge to own a pair won out. Most of the time I feed them "feeder" linkia but sometimes when they are not available I buy a chocolate chip. I'm still checking into finding some asterinia stars. I've not found any specific site on Harley's. I would just do a search and see what you can find. They are doing very well in my reef and nobody bothers them. I do think you might see more of them in a smaller species tank, but they look so "at home" in the reef I'm going to leave them there. MtnDewMan on Reef Central has a pair in his reef and they have spawned! Who knows, maybe mine will too......

"Feeder" Linkias according to my LFS guy are ones that aren't desirable for showtanks. They usually are somewhat faded......not as blue, have some brownish streaking to them. Usually they are somewhat smaller too. HTH
