'nother new star

[EmilyB]

Fromia inica (or in Pisces lingo, the infamous orange/black starfish )



Right place, right time - stopped at Pisces for salt. They hadn't unbagged it yet..

Nice star Deb ... anything else at Pisces worth looking at ... Majestic Angel for instance

Cheers

They had a lot of fish come in I know I saw a few angels.

how about some clown tangs? Oh I hope I hope

Clown tangs?

The star was $25.

I don't really know what else was there, couldn't see thru the bags much.

Fromias are cool looking little stars. How big (or how small) is this guy? I've seen sometimes these wee little red stars that I think are Fromia and they're like max. 1.5" -- very nifty. Is this one of those?

Jon, you should check in with Danny - he was getting in baby Clowns for a while there. Don't know what size you want, but at 2-3 inches they shouldn't terrorize your tank (yet)...

okay quick dumb question for everyone, I have always wanted a star fish I think they are just too cool, but are they reef safe? I don't really have lots of coral I plan on only keeping star polups and some xena.

are there some I could get, do they grow really big?

I have seen two that I have my eye on, a large blue one and a smaller red one (large was about 7" and small was 2")

Depends on the type. I think most would agree Fromia sp. and Linckia sp. are safe, most of the other types commonly sold really aren't. I see a lot of those chocolate chip types in local shops, apparently they're a no-no.
