    Nope it's my first and only star so far.

    Thanks

    Yup he moved to a new hangout...guess he didn't like getting his home shaken to dislodge a hiding fish we were getting out to go into QT.

    Thanks...I'm just glad I was able to catch it.

    right on, nice video.
    Maybe its just the lighting, but is that lava rock? sorry for asking a dumb question but we have lots of that around here that looks nice and pourus. But i've heard it can leach nasty metals. Just wondering.

    Thanks.
    Nope the 2 big chunks are Fiji rock and the other stuff is Pukani rock, which I love and no one has any right now and my poor tank needs more rock.

    Found out the LFS was wrong as I thought they may be in the name of the starfish...it's a feather star

    a
    red crinoid feather star (Himerometra robustipinna)
    to be exact.

    Thats a sweet star! I looked and looked when you offered K+ to the person who found it in your other thread but I never did find it LOL. I'll have to watch the vid tomorrow...no head phones and the wifes sleeping.

    Thanks I really like it.

    It's hiding in the pic..in the center rock in the center hole/cave....it like that rock since several hole intersect so it can come outin several places. Lately it's been cruising around the tank at night.
