W TB/TT: asteria seastars

[Azasb]

So at the beginning of the year I put some Asteria in my tank so I could add a clown shrimp. They multiplied and I had 20-30 on the glass at night. I added the Harlequin and now I see no sea stars. I'm willing to trade coral for a good amount of Harlequin food, Asteria or any other sea star he heats would be good. Buy or trade.

Not sure if you will get reefers to supply you with enough for him to eat. might be better to pass him to another reefer with a tank full of them.

Buy 5-7 chocolate chip stars. Keep them in your sump and feed him an arm from a different star every so often. By the time you rotate to the first he will have grown back the one you took.

Honestly not sure. I have a bunch and just rotate through. I feed them 1 every 2 weeks. They feed on the left over asteria stars in between feeds

I don't mind cutting off a leg of echinoderms, sounds awesome. Does it dirty up your water at all when you do this?

I don't know how how to do the multiple quote thing, so NEWTOTHIS if it dosen't work you can have him.

As long as it's a healthy clean cut they won't cloud up your water. On the other hand if you cut to far towards the mouth it will cloud and you'll have a chance at that starfish dying quicker than the plan to rotate. When I had two harlequins I would feed them a leg every week. Every two weeks and you will have dead harlequins unless they have something else to feed on in between. I was the one that told Chris about rotating the chocolate starfish. Lol
