Cool pic of my star

[schnebbles]

I hope it lives. I just thought this was a cool pic. I wish I hadn't gotten it because after I did I found out they are hard to keep. It's been a couple months.

I don't find them to be hard to keep at all..
I've had my sand sifter for quite a while now and its going great..

I hope mine does as well! I keep that in mind because you said that.

When I turn all the pumps off at feeding time, mine creeps up like a nassarius snail, and joins the party. It eats all the food on the bottom that my scooter isn't interested in, which is usually pellets. He's like a living Roomba.

That's pretty cool. Where did you get it?

It's a sand sifting star. They are common. I just hope it doesn't starve. I didn't know they would eat food like pellets. Maybe I should toss a few in.

It doesn't eat pellets it eats decomposes in the tank(fish poop, left over pellet[breakdown], etc)

Mine cleans up the pellets when they hit the sand...

I'm not sure that a hungry star that eats decomposing pellets would be picky if a brand new pellet dropped in front of him. Food is food. What form its in likely doesn't matter when its hungry.
