Ive been thinking a lot about this lately. Ive noticed astrenias on some of my polyps and wanted to think they were just eating algae but I'm afraid not.

I will sell it after i am done with this pest.

That's what I thought too...they are so cool, I continued to buy chocolate chip stars. They lasted six weeks and the shrimp was mega happy!
