hahahahha. as long as mine is doing his best to rid me of those damn starfish i don't mind if he's a recluse.

nice lookin shrimp you got there btw.

I would like to try one, but I have two stars I don't want it to eat and tons of micro stars that I would like to keep.

 

[joeycadre]

it will eat any stars.

thanks Joey,,, i think he is by far the prettiest shrimp out there, although i'm kinda biased...
i had thought about putting some other small shrimp in there with him but he seems to be out alot now and i really don't want to drive him into the rock... having said that, i do have 2 sexy shrimp in there with him but they hang out in the upper rockwork and shrooms mostly whereas he stays down in the sand bed with his starfish..

Del, as Joey said, they'll eat any starfish they run across. size doesn't matter, that choc chip was ten times his size and he has managed to drag it up and over whatever he wanted to for the last 2 weeks........

Perfect for asterina's and baby brittles. Once your population hits enough that you see them everywhere, get a harlequin. They'll never keep up and will always have food.
