How about them starfish?

Well I've been considering getting a starfish for my 150G tank who is a fowlr.
But I do have cleaner shrimp and tons of snails in there..
Would that be fine?

I would think a cleaner shrimp would be tons faster than a starfish but..........

 

go brittle or serpent, i have a brown brittle in a 30 with fish and corals and its fine so far going on 9 months in there. all serpents are safe i believe. just no BLACK or GREEN brittles. theyll eat fish....

 

How can they eat a fish? Aren't stars supposed to be slow movers?
I was thinking on getting those red stars that would stick on the glass?
I have a brown brittle but that one would just stay under a rock. Never really seen it after 2 minutes in the tank.

 

You mean a Linkea (linckea?) star, or general? Many stars are red but I think you mean a Linckea(?). I hear those a very hard to care for. They eat sick or slow moving fish like mandarins, or can ambush (assumed).

 

brittle stars can move surprisingly fast when they want to. they will wait (put your hand on a desk with just your finger tips on the desk, thats how they wait) in between two rocks.

chocolate chips starfish ar ok but eat corals, and slow moving fish if there hungry. just feed them once every week or every two weeks.

 

i think he's referring to a red fromia which would be fine

 

oh my bad yea i agree with the red fromias.

 

I had a black brittle eat a goby

 

correct.. thats it;D
so they would be safe to have? ( even with a mandarin goby?)

 

They dont eat fish if thats what your worried about? Well not living ones anyway

As far as i am aware they eat bacterial films, detritus and algae, so perfectly safe.

I have one, adds a splash of moving colour round the tank! Its grand!
