Donor: Micro Brittle Stars

[pwhitby]

Hi Jason.

I can give you some Chaetomorpha. That should make a good rigid nest. How about I bring you some about 2 weeks before sept meeting, then we can see how many we could harvest...

PM me.

That would be fine. I work for the meeting but someone could take them, and hand them out.

 

[pwhitby]

hi Jason, can you make it to the meeting in Jan?

 

[Russ Braaten]

I found two of these stars the other day. I had never seen them before and then one day there were 2 climbing the glass. Is there a reason that they would all of a sudden climb the glass? I remember Don, (Not Don Davis) saying that one time he had them all over his glass. I forget why he thought that happened.

Stars are pretty much gone. I had a bristle worm explosion in that tank. I don't know if they were eaten or just don't have enough food. You can still see one or two on occasion, but nothing like the hundreds I had.

I will be at the next meeting. Am just starting in all this - have a 29G tank with a 10G sump beneath it. Rock has cycled and I am starting to add some cleaner crew types, etc.

Please feel free to bring anything to the next meeting that you might like to donate to my cause.

As I haven't seen any of these in months, I wouldn't want anyone to keep their hopes up.

 

[pwhitby]

I just noticed lots of these little guys in my frag tank. The substrate is crushed coral/shells. Seems they like it in there.

If I can catch and transport some I will try and get them onto a donor list. I will only pass them on to people running a sump right now as I really want to see what makes them grow. If the people with sumps see an increase in them as well that will be great.

I would love to see what makes them thrive. Maybe a small tank with no predators would be a good idea to see if I can get a large population going. Im sure Lynn wouldnt mind another tank in the house.

I HAD a huge number of these in the sand and on the rock of my 29G tank. I am HOPING enough of them survive on the rock to get the population up and running again.

One thing. I ordered the detritivore kit from inlandaquatics.com. Whatever the case, it might have helped...

Nobody have these? hmmmm, well If the one I've seen in my tank propogates, I'll have some to donate. We'll have to wait and see what happens though.

 

[pwhitby]

i may well have some in the frag tank. I will look in the near future since I will be taking it down very soon.

[pwhitby]

As I break down my frag tank I will attempt to collect the ones I have.....If I can.
