Thanks guys,
The trigger actually hasn't eaten any of my snails, the harlequin tusk loves to snack on those. I don't have any shrimp but I'm pretty sure he would take those out pretty quick, both the trigger and tusk love krill shrimp.
As far as cast, I try not to even think about it, I stopped keeping track of it on purpose but none of my corals are cheap so I'm sure it's up there.
The feather star didn't make it, I fed him every day and it still withered away.
druluv, I posted them linking to photobucket
I took the pics with both actinics and HQIs, this is actually a borrowed camera, I put it in manual mode, mess with the ISO, turn the macro on, and play with the OEV settings.

Wow!!
How long have you had your blue Linckia? It looks fantastic!
Thanks, I actually got the Linkia from a fellow reef club member that moved out of state about a month ago, it's a gorgeous starfish.
Here's another pic of him and one of my other star.

THAT is what a healthy blue Linckia looks like. FAT and CYLINDRICAL arms
Do you have any ideas how long the other reefer had the star? Right now I am trying to get a better feel for Linckia...there are murmurs that even in larger tanks they will not survive past 18 months or so. I don't know if I agree with that but we just don't have real firm statistics. And for fun how long have you had the other (maybe Nardoa)?

Yeh, he's nice and fat! I'm not sure but I think the previous guy had him for at least 6 months and noe that I think about it he's been in my tank at least 6 weeks. He has tons of LR to graze on in my tank, nobody knows what they really eat but people with large amounts of LR that is really Live have the best success.
I don't know the name of the other star, I've had him since my last tank so probably about a year now.

ok ophiura...i made my own little theory ((arnt u so proud of me)) :joy: ok my theory for linkias is that for best heallth in a linkia i would say the person must have a huge amont of lr and very good water quality not only for the linkia but also for the best growth on the lr. that way once the linkia does his sweep through the lr. by the time he gets back new growth willl be ready for him to eat. thus making a constant circle. the reason i think that pp made the 18 mounth llifespn of a captive linkia is because they probly had lots of lr(over 100 pounds)) and the growth did not keep up with the linkias feeding and it took approximatly 18 mounths to wipe out the food supply and slowly starve. so based on what i have put togther ..AKA my theory, what do u think. cool let me hear some input

Nice Greg a lot of growth and new corals in two months looks better than ever.
croweded ??? Never! He only has like a ton of fish, only a ton of coral...Come on Greg, let us know your secrets, How do you keep it looking soooo perfect!?
P.P.S. we are coming to the August meeting, will you be around? Also do you know where I could get a tank drilled down there? I am a little scared to do it myself. Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I should be around before the meeting as long as I don't have to help Gayle setup, make sure you look at the site our meeting has changed. You can e-mail me or call me about a week before and we can figure it out, do you still have my number?
The best place to get a tank drilled is at Ocean's Below. He's listed in the local vendors section of our site. He drilled my refugium and my girlfriend's 29g.
