I took over my husband's tank. Pretty much sent it into the mother of all cycles which killed just about everything in the tank. It is embarrassingly ugly right now. I haven't added anything outside water to the tank. I have cleaned most of the rocks.
My husband like to point out every new thing he found in his tank. He never saw a starfish in it, and neither did the boys and I until this week. Now we have at least 6 tiny baby starfish and those are only the ones we could see on the glass.
How is it possible for starfish to just pop up in a tank where nothing has been added in over a year? Could it be stirring up the dsb? They are definately starfish.
So what causes a sudden burst of starfish in the tank? Is it good or bad? (I know the starfish are not good for coral, I'm wondering if the activity of babies means the tank is at some specific point where they tend to multiply.) Anyone know?
