Hi all,
I'm a week into cycliing my tank and I have noticed several critters that have ventured off the live rock. 1. is a 6 legged starfish about as big as my pinky nail. 2. (I believe to be a star also but it has 3 legs.) 3. Is a teeny weenie 4 legged star about 1/4 the size of my pinky nail. Are these stars or some nudibranch scavanger I should throw in the trash? 4 and 5 look like shrimps but they are very small and I cant get a good look at them. They are very fast and every time I walk to the tank they dart into a hole in the rocks. My question is are they good or bad in my tank. If there good I would like to keep them. I checked my water and I got 0,0,0 for NH3, NA3, NO2 If there ok to keep I would like to keep them. What should I feed them? I didn't plan on anything in the tank for at least another month. Thanks for any advice,
Jim
