    i took all my brittles back to the LFS...they are carnivores and would eat any invert i put in the tank (coral banded, peppermints, cleaner shrimp all included) Serpent stars are the only ones allowed in my reef now.

    Store credit for something you didn't pay for? I doubt it. I would just flush it instead of them making more money off it LOL. Actually maybe they will give you back the money for how much weight he added to the LR - like $.01.

    Well I dont want him to die and I want to set up a nano for my office (Building it for the reception area, so all expenses paid by the company) so maybe I will just transfer him to that after I get that squared away.

    Ive had my large brittle star for over a year and I have loads of over a 100 snails, a coral banded, 2 emeralds, purple reef lobster and probably other random stuff. I havent lost a single one due to the starfish so I dont know where your gettin that from. It does a great job of gettin into crevices and comes out at night and when I feed to catch bits of foods. I thinks its cool to watch and would keep it if I were you. If you do plan on gettin rid of it. I Live in Lombard by 53 and roosevelt and I'll gladly take it from you. I can give you some chaeto or some frag for it if you want.
