Asterina stars?

Lets see some pictures of the feeding!

Sounds bad@$$!

[Darbex]

Fed the corals some Mysis today and they destroyed it. The plate coral is bad @$$ when its finds one I just rubbed it on one of its tentacles and it quickly grabbed it with a bunch of them and pulled it in. I also fed the torch coral, candy cane, and one of the larger zoas. Also noticed some different behavior from my clown pair. It looks like mating behavior but I dont know enough about clowns to determine yet. But they began shaking on the ground and swimming off real quickly then they start swimming in circles around each other.

Cant find the starfish I have though

[Darbex]

Damn found I have two bristle worms at least thats what I can see. They are about 2" spotted by chance looking around the tank. On another note I got a mandarin goby today getting him acclimated right now.

[myjohnson]

Keep looking for stuff in the tank. Might be something sucking it at night.

May want to try vit C dosing. A number of people of RC reported the same problem and fixed it with vit C.

[Darbex]

I moved them to the sand bed no real change will keep watching. Also found a starfish in the tank very small I cant find any pics of it kind of grey/blue top.

[myjohnson]

How is the zoa doing now?

Might be a fungus dude. Do a google and see if it looks like that. If it does, then you might want to dip it in Furan 2.

[Darbex]

I looked at night and I dont see anything the only thing I see are the pods crawling on it but they crawl on the others too with no issue. Its the pink polys they only open half way I dont know if it maybe the flow because I cant remember if I have ever seen them fully open since I got the MP10 or not wish I was paying more attention. Or it could be the new zoas I picked up I know they can spread toxins to fight but I thought I put them far enough away that they are directly trying to get new territory yet.

[myjohnson]

Any idea how to determine what is irritating a zoa? One of a group of zoas hasnt opened up fully in a couple of days.

Could be bad news.

Try looking at it at night with a flashlight or black light and see if there are bugs sucking on it.

Which zoas are doing this?

[madugo]

might be some little bugs...
try fresh water dip would be my suggestion..
its not really gonna hurt your zoa..

mysis might be too big for some of your zoas...
i just got some home make phytoplankton...like a 2L bottle...if you want i can give you some...it is like the DT...

[myjohnson]

You like any of the stuff in their little freg up there?

I was looking for something to feed the zoas and rics I got.

[madugo]

hikari frozen mysis...
cp sells them for 2 bucks i think, which is less than half of what petsmart selling.
it will last you a long time...
you can feed the leftover to your other fishes too...
they are pretty nutritious...
