eh i like them. it hurts like crap when you grab one without seein it (which i do a couple times a day) but theyre great for clean up.
ive got piles of them. ive even got one that is literally the size and thickness of a pencil.
i just wish i had some of those micro brittle stars. i have a total of 2 asterinas but no micros.

nah they dont bite theyve got the little bristles on them and if you touch them theyll come off in your skin. it feels like having a bunch of spliters. my skin always swells up where i get them and feels like poison ivy.

^ ^ right when it happens it feels like splinters but the more it gets messed with the more annoying it is.

for real.
you know what drives me crazy about my mag float? the way it leaves streaks on the outside glass. and the way the bristles are lined up on the inside so if you miss a spot there are little lines of algae. rant over.

I dont have the problem with the inside but I HATE it when theres water on the outside of it and it you use the mad float right after u just cleaned the outside
