I'd return the green and get a different color that is more peaceful.

Well I don't find this Brittlestar to be aggresive at all. I just feed him a few pellets every now and then and he stays very happy. He never messes with any of my corals.
Here is a good pic of his color and my new coral and a good one of the leather.

Yes it is nice and quiet now, Thats deffinatly a predatory green brittle star. When it reaches full size it will go after your fish. So im just giving you a heads up incase something goes missing one day.

Thanks for the heads up. I will find out how much he likes fish probably in the next two weeks when i hope to add me a clown fish.

Well no need to wait on getting rid of the Brittlestar - when i was doing a water change yesterday i noticed that he was in a ball in the corner. SO i started worrying about why he was like that and come to find out he had a hermit crab in his arms ready for dinner. I was able to break them up and save the hermit. So later on today i am going to trade him in for credit
- i really liked him alot. I am looking to get an anemone and clown this coming week so dont want him in there with the new guys - so hes gotta go.

very nice! and do not get an anemone yet. you need very strong light (you might already) and a very mature tank. at least one year old is recomended.

The only reason im getting an anemone this early is because a friend has a ton and is giving me one for free - so y not try and see what happens.

Well the anemones have all moved to the back of the tank but are doing well. Also i started with 2 and now have 3 already.
But the good news is i finally got a clown fish to put in my tank and he (or she
) is a beauty! So here are some pics of the new clown and my new coral which is some sort of Pagoda -
i think- i forgot. (all the white dots are just bubbles from filter or from camera)

Here's what the tank looks like as of 10-7-07

My newest addition is a small Diamond Goby to help sift the sand and get rid of that unwanted algae. He is so cool - all he does to scoop sand all day long.

Excellent addition

I love diamond gobies. Be sure you have a sealed top, though.
They tend to be jumpers...

The Diamond Goby is a machine!! The tank looks so much better since hes been added.
