I bought one of these today the LFS said that it was a scavanger and was pretty easy to care for. Anything I should look out for?



TIA

[i have crabs]

any corals and sponges will get eaten not really a scavenger but will eat whatever it finds but should be fed somethin meaty once in a while

Yes, Look out for your corals( if you have any). CC stars are not reef friendly.

 

[r6mason]

what about any rose BTA??

BTW they get huge. My dentist has one that is probbably a foot from end to end.

Your star should only go in a fowlr

If its a FO tank. no worries....enjoy.

 

[i have crabs]

it will probably be fine anemones sting them so they stay back but could be risky still

Mine ate my favorite feather duster . I've been feeding it a piece of krill very other day or so. I bought it about 1 1/2" size and after 3 months it has grown to 3" 8O

My book says anemones are at risk also... Good luck..

i just traded mine off he was eating snails crabs so once he gets a good size even feeding them wont stop them from the buffet. my would eat all the time and if i slowed the feeding he just help his self to a snail. so defintly a fish only tank with really fast inverts so they can run away from him
