Killer Starfish
My knob star just recently endulged in my smallest of my condy anenomes..I couldn't find my purple anenome, so I picked up my starfish and he was drooling purple anenome

Yep - they are aggressive & predatory. Looks like he had a nice snack. Sorry for your anemones' losses.

yeh I figured him to go for the mushroom coral, which by the way he smothered...but not the anenomes..oh well..this is the same breed starfish that wiped out most of the barrier reef.

I could say something really nasty here, but I won't. I will ask, however, why you thought to put that starfish in the tank when you figured it would eat your 'shrooms.

The lfs said the shrooms would be fine..I would just have to keep an eye on the starfish. Not possible..Its too crafty so im going to trade in my other mushroom coral for something else..maybe a purple lobster. What do you think?

The Crown-or-Thorns is the starfish that has been decimating the reefs.

Now i'm confused. Is this a reef you have or just predatory animals and rock?

The African star did much damage based on mariners dumping them not knowing the consequence.

from what I know I just have a standard orange sea star, but I have found it on, under, or around my corals a lot. Should i be worried?
