    When I put my new green star coral in my nano, my blue legs started picking at it.
    I don’t see any damage. Are they trying to eat it, or just picking off algae? Should I knock the blue legs off, or leave them alone?
    :help:

    They are just picking at algae and detritus.

    I don't think that they are, but if they are you can give them to me.

    my GSP holds a lot of detritus, I see my cleaner shrimp picking stuff out of it all day long. Unless you have hoards of hermits actually eating it all day it will outgrow any minor damage they cause picking in between it.
