[ricenoodle]

[splitkooks]

[keepitclean]

Think those are parasites?????

[ensiferum321]

haha. Fail.

[splitkooks]

why call it a fail, mate?

[ensiferum321]

Well if you consider a coral eating parasite a good thing..so be it.

[jessegarcia28]

I heard they only tend to feed of good coraline. i guess not as bad as aptasia.....

[ricenoodle]

The majority of us have them, although not all are "bad". It's all in perspective. Some hates it, others don't mind it, you be the judge. More info HERE

i got some in my tank and theyre eating up my BN so i gotta get a couple harlequin shrimps... but coral rx takes care of them quickly till i get them...

[junkie]

They eat coraline which is definatly less than favorable, but they multiply like mad and can become quite an eyesore. Look at it this way, you can house a harliquin shrimp for a while without having to suplement it's diet.

Yes the asterina stars eat up corraline, but with so much coralline growing I don't mind them helping me out. I have a helluva time scraping the corraline off the glass so I just let the asterinas have at it. At some point though I can see where they may be a pest.

[prospectclmt]

I have some that always seem to find their way to my zoos.

[Roger]

yes i have had those battles too.
