Trip

[KnoxvilleIa]

As I said in my introduction I am very new to this hobby.
Can it really be called a hobby?
I had to go and baby sit for 3 days.
It was terriable, I worried one of my new anemones would die.
I envisioned comming home to a dead tank.
It was all right whewww ......
Does everone else get parinoid over there tank?
Have a Question I purchased a brittle star 1.5 weeks ago.
He is still alive but does not apear to move much allwise in the same spot.
But if i shine a light on him he moves, worried he won't make it.
I aclimated him via drip method for 3 hours.
So did all I could any one else have any experiance with this kind of star ?????

My daughter has two in her 135 gallon. One moves all the time the other stays put for weeks at a time. She feeds them a silverside once a week and they seem happy. She's had them over a year now.........HTH

My brittle star tends to stay in one spot in the tank... He doesn't move much unless it's feeding time.

My serpent star is even worse, he stays coiled up in rocks most of the time and I never see more than an arm or two.

Mine seem to like to eat pellets, but I occasionally feed them a small piece of frozen cooked shrimp. They seem to like that a lot.

I too have a brittle star. I have had it for about 4 weeks I think once he finds a spot he will stay there during the day and come out at night. mine does this. if I look in the tank after the lights have been out for about an hour he is out but once I turn the room light on he will quickly go back into his crevice in the rock work. frome everyone I have talked to this is normal.
