I agree with the boredom part, thats definitely something that worries me. I don't want them to suddenly stop caring so honestly if they no longer want it I can take it back and keep it in my room. I just don't know what to do if I go the freshwater route. I don't want to keep shrimp without...
Its a great idea and personally something I would do for myself. But with my past planted experience I would not put that upon someone not able to work on it at least 10 minutes a day. Dosing carbon, setting up CO2, makes it a bit more than I wanted to do.
I still am not 100% sure if I will be...
I have to go fishless, my aunt doesn't want one, not sure why. But she said a starfish or crab would be fine lol. I have an extra 10g and set of lights laying around so I was either going to make a QT for myself or a little tank for them. I will definitely teach them how important it is not to...
Ok so I'm thinking maybe just the asterina since they're virtually bulletproof lol. Thanks for the thoughts guys. My aunt said their son may be too excited with it and try and feed it/mess with it all the time so it may be a no go

I am going to use all established rock from my tank so they don't have to worry about cycling or anything. I do live about 5 minutes away so if something does happen I can swing by and help out. I would prefer to do the 10G but my aunt would like the smaller one. My other option is to get a 2.5...
My little cousins (turning 6 and 8 years old) love my tank and their birthdays are coming up in a few weeks. I decided that I would love to set them up with a 5G that has an asterina starfish and a sexy shrimp with lots of macroalgae or a 10G with some durable corals like kenya trees and...
That one definitely hitchhiked in yesterday and didn't come out until today. I left and haven't been able to find it since I got home. Hopefully it will appear soon and I can pull it out. If more appear though, its time for a harlequin shrimp. I love the look of harlies but didn't want to feed...
I had an asterina once that I pulled out immediately when I saw it. Then I got this brown striped one, I had no clue they could get like 3/4" wide. I would love to keep it if it doesn't bother any corals and doesn't reproduce like crazy.

Thanks. I've never seen an asterina that size or color but everyone has said thats what it is. I was really surprised when what I thought was a sandsifter crawled right past the sand and onto the glass lol.
I've heard that a very small percentage will eat corals so if I notice and strange bite...
Can anyone ID this? I thought it was a small sand sifter but someone said it was an asterina and will eat my SPS. I'm starting to worry now because I won't be home for hours

Appreciate it very much. I love mushrooms, would gladly take some reds off your hands! It's a color I need more of in my tank!

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't get any more pictures because last night my urchin picked up his rock and the mushroom detached. No biggie though, I much prefer these beautiful new ricordeas :)

Gonna be my first time entering. Hitting the LFS next weekend so perfect opportunity to get some new corals and inverts for a shot [emoji6]

That's amazing. Did you decide on a selling price yet? I would 100% buy it for $600 but my parents refuse to let me dump that much money into a coral lol. They might budge for $500 and some sweet talk though

These pictures still arent great since I don't have a camera, just a phone. But 99% sure its a mushroom
If you look closely you can spot some kind of pods crawling near it for size comparison.

I took this earlier but am not home currently, heading home now. I can try and get a better one but its really small. Wasn't sure what it was but I can see the little dot for a mouth
