all bros and siss,

i had problem with my starfish.it stay on my sun coral and then my coral wont come out again.scare of it will die. wanna ask you whether starfish feed on coral too? will it harm my coral again?

thx

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

Just hope that it's merely a sand sifter and not anything else.

My fav star for reef tank is serpent/brittle stars. Very active n interesting creatures.... Dont attack corals.... but rushes out n fight for food with my bottom feeders hahaha

[sky]

[Dazza]

[shoelevy]

if u are...take a look at what it eats and decide what you wanna do

[sky]

That's right,dude shoelevy!!!

[shoelevy]

u should've read up on it before buying it
