I finally decided to pull the trigger on getting a harlequin shrimp yesterday. It's amazing how starfish don't have brains but are somehow masters of disguise and are now running for their lives

Hope you have a lot of them because that shrimp is going to clean that tank out fast and I mean fast. After that you are going to have to buy a starfish to feed the shrimp or take it back to the fish store. If you decide to feed it watch your parameters because it can foul your tank.

I got him because I couldn't pull the little zoa killers out fast enough. I'm not sure yet if I'll keep him but I'm already preparing myself for what needs to be done after the genocide is over with
 
I have this tank connected to a common sump with another tank and the little guys are starting to run up the glass in the other tank too
