M6S1K3 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I got a decent amount of cheato today and it looks like worms in it. Along with a bunch of long tentacled star fish (which I removed). Are the work looking things good? Bad? I wish I took a picture but I didn't :/. Also it seems that in the middle of a string of cheato it turns brown. Almost work like but the size of the cheato just brown. Any insight? I'm holding off adding to my fuge until someone can clarify. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you look close. All over you'll see the brown I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It was all good. The micro or dwarf brittle stars and/or Asterena sp. starfish are excellent scavengers along with the worms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6S1K3 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hmm. Had no idea. So would they multiply in my sump?! Eat the pods I've been cultivating? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Keep them. I doubt you were able to remove them all. They're good to have. And once you start buying more corals, will inevitably introduce them again. The mini brittle stars and bristleworms are great and cleaning up junk and will actually consume waste and detritus. They will have no negative impact on your pod population. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I dropped my turkey-sized ball of chaeto off to them about a month ago. Was filled with tons of pods, brittle stars, and micro snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You can at the frag swap at C4. [emoji14] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6S1K3 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 What's the details of that. I've seen people posting that. But I'm so new I have no idea what it means Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Not a ton of details yet but it's supposed to happen in June. There will be speakers, prizes, raffles, and a frag swap. It's like Austin's version of Reefapalooza or Macna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
