Serpent star

[schmoore89]

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 they survive in the sump?? Will they stay in the sump?? I would love to take them to my LFS for some credit…… thoughts…….

Sorry, but it's more likely you have one of the small species that reproduce readily in aquariums.

They are cute and beneficial and will thrive in your sump and DT. My fish do not eat them and they tend to hide under the rocks,
I doubt LFS will give you store credit for them though.

Some online retailers will sell them for upwards of $25 or more for half dozen of them. If you have a large amount, you could sell, or trade, to local reefers in your area for a couple bucks a piece.

Your lucky. I am trying to purchase some. Shipping is the hardest part. Enjoy them.
