new addition... when he was acclimating



I already fed him an asterina star while acclimating... i couldn't wait :)

Nice pick up!

You must feed him some big@$$ star fishes and make a youtube video of it....PLEASE!

it would take this guy weeks to finish off a huge starfish it took him 10-15 min just to eat a tiny asterina

also picked up 5 chromis

I have read reports of up to a week. The HS will flip the SF over and just keep it in a cave. Slowly eat it away over the course of a week. The whole time the SF is alive b/c the HS starts with the arms first. Pretty wild shrimp.

thats craziness. I love these guys though and been wanting one for a long time they just look awesome...i think that now i have the starfish pop to support one and when i went to the LFS to pic up some ABN's they had 3-4 of them. pretty cheap too.

[myjohnson]

Get a pair?

You might have to buy a star fish once in a while for it. I don't see the population being able to keep up with one.

[cichlid1409]

i like just having the one. i also have plenty of SF in my fuge. i may have to buy a starfish down the road but i'll see what happens.

[myjohnson]

If you got a lot in the fuge then you might be able to sustain a populations. Just control the rate at which he eats them at.

How is his attitude? Shy or is he moving around a lot?

[cichlid1409]

well so far, after i put him in he hung out on my frag rack for an hour then went under some rocks where i can just see his head sticking out for the last 2 hours. seems kinda shy. the chromis are real shy but i say give em a couple days and they will be swimming all over the place.

[myjohnson]

Update time dude.

[cichlid1409]

almost....... just put in an order with marine depot

[myjohnson]

Still waiting....
