Easiest Clam to Keep?

[saltyfilmfolks]

It is a brittle but I am still a little cautious. He has killed several corals thinking they were food so I don't want to take that risk.

hmmm. might not be a brittle star. I have never seen one eat anything like that.

It is a brittle star. He didn't eat the coral, he just killed it because he thought it was food. It tried to drag it under his rock and he killed it in the process. Once he realized it wasn't food he pushed it out from under his rock

They are still really cool though. Did you get tampa bay live rock?

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

Yeah, but I'm not sure it was from the TBLR company. I got mine from gulfliverock.com.

When I set up my next tank (not sure when) I am going to get my rock somewhere in that area. I have heard of really cool things coming out of their rocks, even fish :)

No fish for me. Just lots of macroalgae, pods, corals and clams for me :)
