Hello all
I’m in the midst of an Asterina Starfish invasion. My LFS guy, who I trust implicitly, has told me that Harlequin Shrimp would take care of them but once they eat them all they need a chocolate chip starfish every 2 weeks to survive. I’m not a big fan of sacrificing an animal every 2 weeks. I know, I know, I’m already killing starfish by wiping out the Asterinas. I see them as pests not unlike roaches or ants. I guess I could return the harlequin to the LFS once his job is done but I’m not a fan of evicting residents once their “usefulness “ is over. I’m currently removing the asterinas by hand. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
