Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
my red starfish, I think its a fromia, has lost a leg, don't know how it happened. may have got into a powerhead. Cant find the leg anywhere , I heard the legs can grow a whole new body ? will get a pic when the lights come on
I have a Sand Sifting Star that lost two legs and they grew back, but I don't know about those red ones.
 
I have had this guy for a while
more than 6-8 months? I'd really like to know what specific algae's they need. my biscuit used to eat Xenia so I would buy Xenia frags for it. but my rock was TBS ocean so it had lots of wild algae. but still, I like seeing the stars crawl all around including the glass.

this always looked cool crawling around on the glass too!

Mine gets caught up in the power head and just sits there while the blade keeps hitting his foot until I pull it away . He heals within a couple days and goes about his business . Yesterday he look like he’s handling the black sponge issue I’ve had and I can actually say that it has holes in the sponge now where he was eating . I hope your tight about them growing a new star and I probably have two of them growing in the rock lol!! . He went up to battle the power head and lost about four times and haven’t been there again . The harlequin star is another story . He goes at it and I’m now waiting for him to do it again .
