SRC Member jc85 Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 Starving for 2 months sounds abit far fetch. It should be feeding on something. Quote Earth Conservation Blog My Marine Blog For All Sengkang Residents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuEl Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Are you sure it's the specialised harlequin shrimp? Common names can give rise to alot of confusion some times.

FuEl Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Nothing..if my guess is correct its feeding on brittlestars, although it might not enjoy doing so...but oh well..sh*t happens.. Brittlestars can be abundant in aquariums..and furthermore they are echinoderms too...

SRC Member kschew1498 Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hi Chew, Sorry to hear that. Dun worry abt the pincer, they will grow back. I'll suggest that you not put them back together again even you upgraded unless you have something more than 6 ft. I have a 4ft tank and my boxers roam all ard the tank. Btw, more picture on the harlequin for your reference. Cheers Huh really...more than 6 feet than can?? I even seen more than a couple of coral band shrimp in a 5 feet display tank... Maybe they fight like hell which I didnt know. Sigh! Strangly the coral band doesnt attack my camel shrimp and scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp... It just cannot tolerate its own kind....

SRC Member jc85 Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 Yap. It normally dun attack other kind. I have skunk and recently harlequin in my tank without problem. Maybe those that you saw are mating pair like the one I had in my tank.

SRC Member jc85 Posted January 6, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 6, 2004 My harlequin just killed my sea star last nite after juz eating one of it "legs". Anyone can recommend a sea star that can last the attack from harlequin for a reef tank? Greatly appreciated.

Looks like the starfish has been attacked on all 5 legs.. or is it the picture.. Quote Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore?

SRC Member andysho Posted January 6, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 6, 2004 have think of keeping those guys but heard that the water will be flooded with starfish flesh after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member jc85 Posted January 6, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 6, 2004 only one Harlequin shrimp? Looks like the starfish has been attacked on all 5 legs.. or is it the picture.. Actually the pic shows the starfish still intact (b4 attack). I still dun know the actual I.D of this starfish till date. It has two color, the tip of its leg is dark orange and the body is brighter orange.
