Question... did the CC stars ever get an opprotunity to get to any corals, or was it immediately paralyzed?? From all my research, I came to the conclusion that that it would be okay, but wondering what you had to say. Would you recommend it? Any problems for you, other than having to buy stars regularly?
Nope...I typically let them acclimate in the refugium for at least a day so they are a littly stronger when I put them in the display. Want to at least give the stars a fighting chance. I attach the star high on the glass in the front of the tank and the Harlequin immediately will pop out. He will follow the CC all over the tank until he gets his hands on him so the CC will not have a chance to get any corals. They are really smart shrimp for sure.
