chocolate chip starfish

[sicklids]

so yesterday i went home after work and like every other day went straight to my tank. low and behold there is a pretty good sized cc starfish sitting on one of my live rocks. now this thing is way too big to have been a hitch hiker for me to have not seen it. now im wondering, where did this thing come from?

so i call my LFS guy, Jason, and start telling him about this thing, he starts laughing his arse off! im like what the hell? then he says to me, and i quote, "someone dumped 2 of them off on me at the store, so i figured i would dump one off on you and see what you would say when you got home!" so him and my wife had this conspiracy going the whole time! im hoping my DF puffer will eat it!

until this hopefully happens, what do i feed this thing? how?

 

[dustin_P74]

he will find things to eat in the tank and he will eat the scraps of what you feed the fish, no biggie

They're not reef safe. He should fend for himself.

i dont have any corals as of yet anyway. gotta wait till the move to set up the 120 gallon, and still dont know if im gonna go with any corals or not. lights are waaaaayyyyyyyy too expensive for a man with 6 daughters!!!

 

[michelle]

6 daughters? wow, you must be a very relaxed guy...OR, you have no hair left now:) JK.

 

[sicklids]

im not all that relaxed, just patient, well, until it comes to this aquarium addiction i have gotten my self into...

 

[Brat]

they are pretty aren't they? I wish they were reef safe.

 

[sicklids]

yes, they are pretty! and you cant beat it for free!

 

[Bifferwine]

It will be just fine eating whatever the fish leave behind. They are easy to keep.

 

[yote]

Thats one star you dont have to worry about starving.Doubt the puffer will bother him either.

 

[sicklids]

well, i guess my lLFS guy was alright by playing this "trick" on me then.
