WTB or Borrow Biocube Sort of an Emergency

[Trueno22]

I am having problems with those little white stars eating my coral. They are eating everything at an alarming rate.

Herefishy from ORCA posted an ad selling a Red Sea Max, but haven't heard from her in a few days and I am afraid if I wait any longer all my zoanthids are going to go extinct on me.

So I am basically looking for anyone with a Biocube, Aquapod, or JBJ Nano of at least 28 galllons for sale. Or someone with one of the aforementioned systems to borrow temporarily if it is smaller than 28 gallons untill I can purchase another nano.

I would even be interested in purchasing a T5 fixture of 30 inches cause then I could get a 20 long.

Dont buy a new tank just get some harlequin shrimp they will eat them all.

i have a harlequin dude is either lazy or not hungry enough. Theres a ton of these stars.

I have always wanted to sell my 90 and move to a nano cube these stars are sjust forcing me to do it faster than I wanted.

I personally have never had a problem with the little white stars causing a problem it is the blue and green ones that show up. Those I yank out ASAP. I have the white ones everywhere and they seem to not be a problem but that is just me. Let me see if I can get ahold of Bryan's wife because he is out of town for you.

sounds interesting it isn't drilled is it? What are the dimensions?

Are you sure you dont have zoapox? Are there tiny white dots on the zoas and base? Do a search to check it out.

 

[Trueno22]

No trust me it is white starfish.

Are they only eating the zoas? Maybe an infection? I honestly have not ever had a problem with the stars...they are detrius/algae eaters...

 

[Trueno22]

yes they are only eating zoas not touching my palys xenias or even the button polyps

Tiny white stars are known coral eaters.I would do freshwater dips for about 20seconds and then shake the stars off they will usually come off and planaria usually burst with this treatment.Every coral or rock I get goes through this but I usually I also dip in Revive just to aggrivate the pest before the fresh water dips.
