quick visit to th critter for food and came home with this.

 

[Angela Short]

How neat! I love stars, I hope he does good for you, my only attempt at one slowley mealted away .

 

[Mobikob]

Very nice! If you don't already have a bar of Cyclopeze you should get one. My Linkia star loves it, and so will your corals.

mine did the samething as Angela

 

[RevRoy]

I had a chocolate chip that melted away, I did not know you needed an established tank then and put it in about two months in to my tank. but my tank is now 9 months old. So I hope this one lives.
I use cycopeze in the whole freeze dried version, but don't know about the bar kind. what is it and how is it better?

 

[Mobikob]

I have never used dried, so I don't know if it is any better. I always stick with the frozen bar type because I figure there is more nutrition locked in.
freezedried should work just fine.

I dont think those chocolate chip ones are reef safe...

 

[Angela Short]

They are not.

 

[fishdoc11]

Very nice...good luck with him

 

[RevRoy]

I didn't have any corals when I added the Chocolate chip. I did'nt know they were'bt reef safe though. So I guess it was all for the best that it did'nt make it after all

 

[gflat65]

Chocolate chops will wander around and eat anything it can find, coral, fish. Nasty little buggers. I found out the hard way years ago after being told they were reef safe... Make good shrimp food, though.

 

[RevRoy]

well, my new friend did not last long at all.
I came in this morning just two day after gettting it and it looke like a sceen iout of The Wizard of Oz. I'm melting, I'm melting must have been the sounds last night in my office. when I came in to the office this morninig there was just a mass of melted red goo, that used to be my new red star.

That will defiantly be my last star!

Like clams and shrimp they are very sensitive to changes in SG. It's a good idea when you purchase a creature that is very sensitive to changes like that to leave them in the store for a week or two if they haven't been there that long allready. One thing I don't like about the Critter is that IMO they don't acclimate those creatures long enough.

Darn. I was hoping that would work out. That was a beautiful star....
