Sand Shiftin Star

Just finished swapping my crushed coral for a thin sand bed(about 1in). To keep the sand clean I added a small sand shifting star, and WOW the things is a beast, its covered every inch of he sand bed and devored every scrap of algae/leftover stuff from the substrate swap in a single night. So now I find my self wondering what to supplement its feeding with, since i dont think the stuff in the sand is going to be enough. I read alot about it before buying it, but I didnt realize it was going to be so good at its job, and most sites i normally get my information from say it will feed itself.

the plus side is if he keeps it up my sand is going to stay really clean.

 

nice!!!! thats always good!

 

I got one about a week ago myself and it has already cleaned my sandbed as well... love him... doen't show up often ... maybe once a day... guess he's too busy!!!
Here are a couple of pics of mine... it's quite large maybe about 3-4 inches.

 

You'll need to target feed it periodically. Some Formula One frozen food shoved into the sand will work.
