bristle stars....

[nvmycj]

Does anyone know if bristle stars are aggressive toward shrimp? I put in a cleaner and a pep in my 10, and they're both gone 2 days later. I can't find 'em anywhere. Got a percula and royal gamma in there too.
any ideas....:notsure:

sounds like your brittle star ate them. i wouldn't call themaggressive, but they are oppertunistic feeders.

DAMN.....
ain't that some &%$#!!! He just looks so cool crawlin' around the floor and over the LR.....

your chances of a star lasting is very slim in a 10gallon.
I'd take it back and get something else..:happy:

I've had "Spikey" in my tank for nearly 5 months now. I was told they'd be o.k.

Well Technically there is no reason he can't be in there.
It's just that they are senstive to water quality changes that occur in such a small tank.
Even the smallest evaporation causes salinity changes, which can slowly kill stars.
Keep up the good work.
