Pest request

[dgphelps]

If you're planning on going to the meet would you like to also offload some pests? I'm specifically looking for some unsightly or needing to be trimmed macro algae, majano anemone, weedy coral (xenia, kenya tree, gsp, etc) for my son's pest tank.

While I am pressing my luck, I am also on the hunt for a stomatella snail in hopes it will breed with the other I have in my main tank (I only seem to have one), asternia starfish, and any other tiny pod like thing.

Trying to push for some cool biodiversity on the worm/pod/etc scale.

I think I can help you with the stomatella snail I'll check my frag tank I think there is 3 in there and I have them in my main tank as well

Oh that's awesome! Thank you. I love these little grazers in my tank.

Hmm I should be careful what I ask for. Fed the pest tank tonight and was able to target feed a bobbit worm I didn't previously know existed. Hoping it leaves the crab and urchin alone. That said they have been living together for about two months now.

Want/need any of the small brittle starfish? I have more of those than I know what to do with!

Definitely, those micro stars are great. Definitely would appreciate those.

Looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow.

So I am awake at 1230 am and I decided to check my tank lights out with a blue flash light. Wow that is an amazing 1st time I have done this in the whole time I have had the tank there 3 big bristle worms that were out along with a bunch of stomatellas 2 the size of a nickel

Addictive isn't it? I found a red acrylic cover over the flashlight lets me see them and they don't notice the light at all. I found a pretty beaten up micro brittle star in my pest tank. I'm thinking it came in on the paly frag I got yesterday for that tank. I grabbed it with tweezers and got it into my main tank. In the big tank I caught about 20 larger pods zipping around, they look like super small mantis shrimp - hope that's not correct.
