crinoid

[Germanman]

well one of my LFS's had one and it wasn't feeding so i figured id try and see if it will eat in my reef since ive had luck with the sea pen and the cleaner wrasse. so i bought it, the owner only charged me $15 for it too. so here are a few bad pictures it crawled into the corner and started feeding, ill give it some phyto in a few mins and see how it goes! wish me luck on saving it!

wow... you just loooooove testing your luck... dont you......?
haha
PS: id wait a few more months before claiming success with the seapen.

That's really interesting Germanman- I've never seen a crinoid. I used to find the fossils all the time, as a kid. Good luck with it!

how the clowns....lol

ooouch... lol
now that i ahve my deltec, ill be able to feed until they are so fat they'll breed (like my little rhyme?)
then they will breed and my sps wont kill me
my Ca levels have already dropped form so much coraline explosion as well as growth with my new halide :(

anyways, good luck with that man. there are so many things id get if i want worried about adding nutrients all the time. lol

I think your pic looks fine. Work with the macro setting and focus settings and I will custom shoppe it for you. Send me a pic in PM.

they come in about every color you can think of :)

[Reefscape]

Am i right in thinking they are very similar to feather dusters?

Otherwise known as sea lillies or feather-stars!!

hey that was my question to answer! lol

[Germanman]

Niko

they are echinoderms...so sea stars lol
but they filter feed using their modified arms.

[Germanman]

well just an update its doing great and opening up to feed several times a day even some of the tentacles are growing a bit. ill get some more pics soon

[Germanman]

another update! well it lost another arm due to me...it was getting to close to my nem for my comfort so i moved him but he dropped an arm so from now on i wont be touching it. it is staying in the from now and i will try to get a good picture tomorrow. on a good note it seems to be regrowing lost limbs already so it must be feeding well on the live phyto.

[Nick540]

very nice, i wish you luck and my sure you will have success.

i need a challenge...otherwise i get board...lol...i could teach my marine bio class...it drives me nuts how many things the teacher leaves out cause its "not local"

[LordsSoilder]

Bah,

I would love to go into marine bio but I live in Michigan (no oceans) and I can't scuba (medical reasons)

Those 2 things make marine bio not really worth doing for me... :mad:

thats too bad.

[Germanman]

well with my strange tank simi crash/ strange occurrence(check reef log for details) seems to have killed the feather star...its hanging in there but i dont think it will recover...but u never know.

[Germanman]

sadly it didn't recover form the tank crash along with 2 feather dusters...but the corals made it and are recovering.next time i see one ill give it another try since it was feeding and even grew back arms in my care.

[LordsSoilder]

Sorry for your loss...

But don't loose hope yet!

:bowing: (Goes a long way)
