Re: fish addict wants to go salt

Tommy - I am sure it would depend on which one of you read the schizo comment .

On a more serious note. Be aware that a chocolate chip (i.e. cookie) starfish can be very predatory to corals and other inverts such as anemones. I had one in my tank for quite a while and it was no problem then once it started there was no stopping it. I had to trade him in for the good of the rest of the tank. They are pretty hardy and good to have depending on the other inhabitants

Re: fish addict wants to go salt

Tommy hurt my itty bitty feelings ( in a very nice way though) that I wasnt taking care of the little tank. He was very very right and I take very good care of it since. lol.

the chocolate 'cookie' star is predatory? well crap, they look so cute in pictures. so im back to a cute little nemo then depending on tank size, etc. I'll have to go from there. Im not even sure I want aneome after I saw the mark on the lfs guys arm. lots more thinking to do, of coarse thats when I get into trouble


I wasnt insulting you Tommy Gun, Schizo is the only word I could think of that rhymed with hero

Re: fish addict wants to go salt

lfs guy was in the hospital for acute pancreatitis, caused by the sting of the sea anemone. I saw the sting on his arm last week, looked nasty.

How do you put the anemone into the tank or put him where you want him?
