Re: Sand Sifting Star = Bad?

I have a small sand sifting star that was given to me. I've had him now for about 2 months. Something got him, he had lost one leg. It's growing back now. I've heard that they can strip your tank clean like that. I was only suppose to be sitting him for a few months, but now the owner has sold off his tank and bought another, But he said he wasn't going to set this one up until he moved into a different house! I'll be finding a new home for this one here soon.

Re: Sand Sifting Star = Bad?

I think Ill just grab me a Harlequin Shrimp(locally) and let it take care of it. I may actually buy another one so that I can rotate one and another in and out of the sump just to feed the harlequin. Good idea or bad?
