Are These Reefsafe?

[armaggedonx]

I've found a few inverts I like and was wondering if they are reef safe for my corals.

*Sand Sifting Starfish
*Serpant Starfish
*Cleaner Shrimp
*Emerald Mithrax Crab


Ill more than likely start another thread on others i find and like the look of XD

Theres any mailorder websites anyone would recomend? (That ship to the UK)

Cheers,

yes but you want to watch the sandsifting star he will kill all the micro fauna that your coral's will want. And, I would loose the emerald crab they are coral nippers and topplers.

i also am not much a fan of emeralds... sally lightfoots are much better IMO

The sand star will strip the sand bed and tank of its micro fauna like mr.reef24 said. The cleaner shrimp and serpent star should be ok. Emerald crabs will pick at coral and knock frags over.

every once in a while(like weekly) give the serpent star some food if your tank doesnt have alot of stuff laying around. if you just touch his arm with it he will grab it.

Yeah. Handfeeding serpent stars can be really fun.

Yep one piece of Krill every week hand fed and your star will come to life every time you open the lid.
