What Type of Star Should I Get?

[blutang]

Well,
This will be my final addition to my tank....its already got its load of fish, now I just want to get something fairly big that will just simply clean the bottom of my tank, that won't eat my Gobies or my Flame Hawk.
Suggestions Please!

Burrowing sun stars do a great job,I got mine from this sight.

Is it a hardy star, what color is it?

As long as there is no corals in the tank a General Star is a beautiful addition. They are a beautiful Red, they don't burrow though. At least our don't. Lisa

contrary to popular belief...I like my green brittle star...yeah they are nocturnal but they clean the bottom of the tank...from my experience and from reference material...blue linkia are extremely hard to raise in captivity and sand burrowing stars take to much out of the sand...not for nothin' but I agree with blueberry on this one...I like the general star as well...these are not reef safe though...you could also go with a chocolate chip but they are not reef safe either...basically it just all depends on personal preference...good luck

Thanks guys I really appreciate all the post....I think I'm either going with a green brittle star or a General Star depending on what my lfs gets first.
Thanks again
