Those are awesome. How long have you had them and where did you get them?

I've had the smaller one for around 1 year and it came from Elegant Reef. The huge one on the left has been in the tank for maybe a couple weeks. I added the second one to help with reducing my starfish population. I see them cruise around together all the time now....they are pretty cool.

Your asterina starfish problem? They should take care of that for you. Cool pic by the way, always thought they were neat. Just was never sure about having to feed them chocolate chips.

You guessed it Mike! Asterinas! I have noticed a slight decline in population...I had been sucking them out whenever I did water changes but the harlequin sure is a prettier way to cut down the starfish numbers.
