My Brittlestar

it slithers around the tank using its tentacles, pretty strange to watch...can't really tell how 'fast' she moves though...

I feed her frozen food...I know you are not supposed to do this, but I just take a cube of the frozen food and use some feeding tongs and wave it in front of her and she wraps her tentacles around it eats it...
 
lol, come to my tank. I've got hundreds of the little buggers running around.

They reproduce like crazy if they have food.
 
the clown was tank raised, but since I ordered the live rock from FFexpress.com, it probably came from a reef 🙁....

I have had this setup since 1999 and I don't remember that the Protect the Reef movement was a big topic (at least not near as what is now) back then...

In any event, I haven't bought any liverock since then and my livestock purchases have been minimal...

Need to hook up my kilo-a-watt meter to find out...

The lights run from 2 pm to 10 pm every day...

two 65 watt compact flourescent bulbs in the fixture...
 
Sweet, I've wanted to get a brittle star for my reef, but my wife insists they are "creepy" and won't let me get one. Maybe I'll get one for my new tank. I'm in the process of taking both my tanks down and selling off most of the live stock and the tanks because we're moving cross country in two months. A friend is baby sitting my true percula and bangaii cardinal, both that I've had for four years, and then shipping them to me. When we get settled I'll setup a new tank, hopefully a 180, but nothing less than a 120. Maybe I can slip a brittle star in there without her noticing.
