Wanted .... Harlequin Shrimp

[Herbie]

Looking for a Harlequin Shrimp to borrow (or rent, lol) for a couple of weeks. I have an outbreak of the greyish Asterina that are eating the crap out of my Zoa colonies ! :angryfire:
I could also buy one, but just dont like the idea of feeding it starfish (that are beneficial) every 2 weeks or so.
Also willing to temporarily trade for a large sand shifting starfish, so it doesnt get eatin !

Will pick up anywhere local to Lewisburg PA, 17837.

Thanks,
Herbie

Very cool creatures. I have one, but I'm rather attached. With the high end zoas I have, getting one only made sense. After he did a good job getting the asterina out of my display, I bought two chocolate chips and put them in my fuge. Every week or two I snip an arm to feed the Harley. I know someone is going to say this is cruel to the cc star, but unless you are a vegan, I will argue that the cow, pig, chicken, or fish was once alive and died for you to enjoy eating it.

O.K. Joe, I only need him for 2 weeks, lol. Would it help if I said he would be helping out some of your old frags :lolspin:.

Thats the thing. I dont really want to deal with the feeding habits of a harley full time. They are very cool, but ALL they eat is starfish ......
All I need is one for about 2 weeks to rid my tank of the demon Asternia .
Already lost a colony of eagle eyes, and 2 colonies of green dragon eyes. The asternia only seem to be eating the small polyp zoas ....... so far.

Hmmmmm... If I let you borrow it, you won't need to buy more zoas from me.... :frog:

I'm sorry but it's only just getting comfortable to enough to roam regularly and I'm cheap and don't want to have to buy a new one God forbid something were to happen.

Whats up? I apologize I haven't been around, I travel a good amount of time now with work, I also started my own business so between both of them I really don't have time to breathe. Tank is going strong, I had/have some temperature issues with fluctuations that killed a few of my pieces , but I should be back on track now.



Herbie, no problem he should be good to go in 2 weeks or so. I will keep you posted.
