I got a sterpant starfish the other day, it has been hanging out in the cave w/ my fire shrimp for the past few days and exploring at night. today i was told that my fire shrimp was picking at it, i thought nothing of it as the fire shrimp picks at my fish and crabs, i guess looking for food. but later on i saw my starfish running over my plants so i was going to move him when i noticed his side had a big piece of meat hanging.
i counted all of his arms, none where gone, in between two of his arms he has a tear, right now i have him in my sump/fuge and placed cut tubing to keep him from going trough the bubble traps.
what could have done this? im thinking that it was my fire shrimp, or my hermit crab, but the crab is really small and keeps to himself, the shrimp goes all over the place.
i got the fire shrimp because i heard that the banded shrimp may eat my buddies later when it gets bigger, was i wrong?
do fire shrimps attack and kill? im hoping the star recovers, i just finished installing a nitrate reactor and new carbon, is there anything i can add to the tank to aid in its recovery?
