    My chocolate chip star has white patches on him. Worried it's a fungus. In QT for now

    Before I did my research, I bought this guy, without realizing he's not reef friendly. Anyway, I've had him in my sump for a little over a year, along with a banished emerald crab. I spot feed them nori sheets as well as some pellets every couple days. I don't keep a daily on him, so this...

    Serpent star

    I’ve got a large banded serpent star fish that has successfully reproduced. What would you suggest I do with the babies. They love getting under my magnetic float scraper.

    Can adding top off water hurt echinoderms?

    Could adding top off water affect the salinity enough to shock sea urchins? I assume no, since i have a few asterina stars that are fine with it but those are also very hardy so I wanted to make sure. Thinking about getting a tuxedo sea urchin since I like them so much.
