How many is to many?

[yote]

HI again y'all. Got another newbie question for y'all to answer. How many of those little white brittle stars is to many? I was just watching the night critters in my 30 gal . and counted 20 to 25 of those small white star fish . I thought I only had 3 or 4. Not that im complaining,I just dont want to over load my tank with them. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply d.french . I'd almost say come get a few,,,. except my son says there his,,and pap cant touch em.lol Do they eventuilly grow up or do they stay that small?

 

[d.french]

i believe micro stars or mini brittles don't get bigger than a quarter if so not much i've been trying to find someone close to be i can get some from. I had some but when i did tank swap in july i haven't seen any yet. but i got loads of amphipods and copepods everywhere like an infestation six line wrasse been busy.

 

[d.french]

if i can't find any i will have to break down and order some from inland aquatics.

I didnt know you could order the little stars... Got plenty of pods myself. Rocks look like they got an extreme case of fleas when the lights go out. so many my yellow wrasse has put on a pot belly in the week he's been in there.

[yote]

correct me if im wrong,,but is ricordia a type of mushroom? From the pics ive seen online I think I might have some. but im not sure about it.

 

[d.french]

[yote]

Just thought I would post a couple links for you.... the fact that you said they were white in your first post made me think they might not be the baby brittles..... Take a look and good luck.
