live rock setup

[baysidefish]

Hi,
please see the pic of my tank, it is a nano cube 24. I have two questions:
1. do I need to build higher rock?
2. if I get some corals in the future, they will be on the rock, will they move rock? (although I have made sure they are pretty secured, but some of them are small pieces.)
thx

Honestly I like the rock work would add anymore. No your coral will not move your rock work.

will starfish climb up to the rock and move it? since I have some small pieces..thanks

Starfish are meat eaters and will eat your corals.

Actually doesn't it just depend on what kind of starfish you get? I've got starfish in both of my tanks with corals and have never had a problem. I was just told to stay away from chocolate chip starfish because they would eat your coraline algae and corals.

Yes, you are correct, but even some of the ones that claim to be reef safe have to be watched until you're sure and even that could change once one reaches adulthood. I think most of the linckias are considered reef safe.
