Mini Brittle stars

[Liam]

Where do the mini brittle stars come from,are they offspring of larger stars or are they a seperate species that stay small.I am talking about the ones you nearly always get when you buy a frag from Greg Hiller.
I would love to have a population of these,any ideas?

Oh No don't tell me Greg has the acro eating brittle stars

J/K
My system at home is loaded with them also, They are a seperate species.
As far as getting a population I don't think it's very hard, 2 make 10 10 make 100 and so on.
I know Greg used to sell them, and if you were going to be down this way I could see if I could hook you up too. Only trouble is some days I see hundreds and others only few.

I see thousands of them in my barebottom tank. I assume a few of them came with the pieces of live rock i brought from my older tank and they multiplied happily. Unfortunately I can't take some of them out because they live behind the rockwork.

I have hundreds in my macro, to the point that I've stopped picking them out before I throw the macro in the trash. If you remind me right before the next meeting I can bring some.

Cindy, can I jump on the "steal some starfish from cindy" band-wagon?

 

[~Flighty~]

Just PM me the day before. I am very flighty and tend to forget things like this. go figure

Since the mysids are breeding really well in my fuge I was thinking of making up some bottles of "Cindy's pattented fuge starter" with mysids, pods, and brittle stars in a little bottle. Like the got pods stuff, but with baby critters swimming around that you can actually see. I will probably charge something like $15 for them because it will be a pain to catch everyhting fresh right before the meeting.

I will go with that Cindy,i used to have a healthy mysid population but they vanished all of a sudden.Put me down for a bottle,i will remind you before the meeting though too,thanks,Liam.

I'd love to get some of these too if it isn't to much.

Cind's Fuge Starter

Thanks skipp

Greg does sell the little star fish I think it was $5.00 for a dozen but check with him to be sure

Cindy I take a bottle as well my fuge needs a boost.

 

[~Flighty~]

Man, maybe I need to start a new thread. I didn't know there would be this kind of demand.

I think I will just put together as many bottles as I can before the meeting and let it be first come first serve. If you just want the stars I could do those alone for cheeper. It is the mysids that will probably be hard to catch. I can get some once, but then they see me as a preditor and run.
