	Stars instead of flowers
nthqldfish Fingerling Posts: 18 Kudos: 11 Votes: 13 Registered: 07-Jan-2006	Hey Guy's, Took a risk this year, instead of flowers I got my darling wife this big blue star for valentines day. Went down a treat, she loves it. Phew Ta Rob *Attached Image:* Too many Kid's, not enough Fish

They always appear to die from malnutrition, even if they are eating (indicating that we probably have no idea what they eat in the wild). I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Though Cory is right about the Linckia, good luck with your new Echinoderm! -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Was told by the LFS prawns or pillies (sardines) and put the star on top of the food. I will look into it further. However if is not going to survive it will be donated to Reef HQ in Townsville where i know it will survive. Ta Rob Too many Kid's, not enough Fish

Harlequin Shrimps are a species of shrimp that eat only starfish. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

chelaine Big Fish Posts: 383 Kudos: 343 Votes: 78 Registered: 23-Jul-2005	so when you feed a starfish, what do you do? pick it up and stick food underneath? i mean they can't exactly see what they're eating.... darn echinoderms... maybe if you cut it into three pieces.. you could have three more starfish? ok.. i joke i joke!

nthqldfish Fingerling Posts: 18 Kudos: 11 Votes: 13 Registered: 07-Jan-2006	At the moment i hand feed the littlebugger. I have the food sitting on my hand and put himontop of it. Generally he stays there and eats it. If he runs away I just try again later. Hang on! Not my starfish. Why am I sitting there feeding it? What a sucker I am. lol Rob Too many Kid's, not enough Fish
