    Help. Strange Tissue Recession

    Total volume of water is about 300g. I just checked nitrates. My best guess is around 40ppm - higher than I would like. My "deep sand bed" in the 30g garage sump has calcified.

    harlequin shrimp: Will they eat my serpent star or my brittle stars?

    I think I would like to find a home for mine as well. Can't find too many asterinas in my main tank anymore. I'll try to catch this week for next weekend. $20 if I can catch him/her.
