The Puffer Forum

For those with GSP's in full SW, what do yall have as a clean up crew?

Apart from me, I have 4 hermit crabs & about a million brittle stars & other starfish.

THe stars hard to raise?

Balki will eat anything that isn't a fish or vegetable.

Ya I figure it will be like everything else, and depend on the puffer lol

I'm fairly confident he'd leave certain corals alone, because I've got a lot of little hitch hiker do dads he doesn't even bite at. He'd eat the wa\rus out of starfish though.

I cant wait for corals

My live rock came with so many stars - brittle & little soft ones. At feeding time, all the brittle stars legs come out of their holes & start waving around - great to watch everything come to life. I have done nothing to encourage breeding, but they are definitely multiplying! Saw one stand on its tiptoes the other day & release eggs into the water. My 2 GSps have never touched the stars or any of my corals.

Lucky Balki ate all of mine.

The only thing they have touched are the feather dusters on the rocks.

You have gentleman puffers! Beautiful tank, the background is the cherry!

WOW awesome tank. If I hadnt already painted the back of the 75 I would get that background I LOVE IT

Thanks guys - if you have any suggestions to get the air bubble out of the back, let me know!! Driving me mad, but can't move the tank to do it.

Without moving the tank, no. If you could move the tank, vegetable oil, or vaseline, smeared on the glass, background placed on, credit card to squeegy the background onto the glass, paper towel to catch oily mess the squeezes out the edges.

Ya no way I can think of to do it with out moving tank
