Hey all, where could I get some of the brittle stars that would have come if I started with live rock? I started up a 10 gallon nano a month ago using dry rock and seeding with the bottle bacteria. The live sand bag I used was was over a year old, so I have no critters. I checked out ipsf but looks too rich for my blood.

So chaeto or live rock would be easiest? I just dont know about the live rock though. Feels like it defeats the purpose of starting with macro rocks.

they'll find their way in your tank eventually sooner than later. usually from frags. Another option is to get a scoop of sand from a fellow reefer or some rubble

I have a ton in my frag tank. They're always under my plugs. Let me know if you want to stop by, I'll find some for you.

fly5150. I'll take you up on your offer if it's cool. There was a guy selling them 20 for $10 here in OC but he was always only available after work like 1AM. Worked at a restaurant if I remember right. Anyway. Let me know. Pm box is full by the way.
