Nope, the CB won't touch 'em.

There's only one shrimp I know of that will take care of your aptasia problem - Peppermint. If you search and read some of the related threads on this board, you'll find a ton of info on using them.

There are many other methods people have used with varying degrees of success, such as injecting them with boiling water or kalk paste. I took a few rocks out and used boiling water on each of the ap's and it seemed to work pretty well.

Bump .... the cb has a smashing personality, doesn't drink or smoke and seems to be the strong silent type as for the brittle star he is all hands but has full time employment and smiles alot. I am looking for a good home for these creatures and if you would like to offer something in trade that would be great or just the offer of a good home is fine with me.
Have a groovy night

Hey Kelly.
I would be into the green brittle star. Is it safe for corals?
I'm sure it is as there is basically no brittle star I know with a bad rap.
How come your getting rid of them?

If it's the green brittle star reputed for killing fish, you may not want it Jon except in your sump Jon....

Hmmm :confused: Thank's Deb. I thought something may be up.

The brittle star perches itself up between the rocks and supposedly drops on any small fish that swim under it, I have not seen this myself but it does hassle my hermits so it has been banished to my sump and it can move rather fast. It seems to be a good bottom cleaner as long as there is nothing small it can get it's grimy hands on.
Have a nice day everyone,

I just got my 10 running again in the anticipation of getting that Mantis that someone was offering. Although I PM'd immediately that fell through (not surprised), so the CBS could live in there if you want to get rid of it. Unfortunately I am going on vacation in August, so I would not be able to feed it. I am loading up the tank with Bristleworms, so he could snack on those.
:BIG:

I suppose putting either of the two into a fuge is a bad idea...
