SRC Member jem Posted July 20, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 20, 2005 Sea Stars climbs over corals to forage for food.. =) it does not eat corals... If your aquarium have ample amount of live rocks..it should leave ur corals alone and will forage over the live rocks for deritus and micro-organism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member cityofangels Posted July 21, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 21, 2005 Just hope that it's merely a sand sifter and not anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
