Hello all, I have had an aquapod going for a several months now and am just getting around to posting. What an addicting hobby, already starting to plan a 500 gallon + tank.........

Right Side of 24 gal aquapod: <br/>

Unidentified Anemone or Soft Coral?:<br/>

<br/>
Unidentified Starfish: <br/>

Sorry for the large pics!
Any help identifying the 2 items above is greatly appreciated!


Upgrades: Metal Halide Lighting, Refugium, MJ1200, etc, etc.


Thanks again!

The second is an asterina starfish. I've always heard what this site says, most are fine but some can be bad. Not sure on the first, feel free to frag some of those zoa's and send them to me to keep them safe!

That starfish looks like one of the sps eating star fish to me. If it is they can be a real pain because they hide very well. Not more than 50% certain though. If you see any tissue damage and or bleaching look for them on the coral. That is how you will find out. Sorry I can't help more.

Thanks for the input AIM and Ariel! I think i'll play it safe and try to find that little bugger again. I knew I was gonna regret letting him loose after I found him the first time!
