starfish day

[St8Gr3]

Okay obviously a starfish.... can anyone tell me what kind this one is and if its dangerous, found it under my lobo tonight

1901

How large is it. It looks like a serpent star.

[Luke]

looks like mini serpent star... good clean up crew

[St8Gr3]

well the middle is maybe half an inch in diameter and the little legs are about 3 inches long the middle looks like a little flower

[Luke]

maybe not so mini...

[St8Gr3]

LoL! So nothing to worry about then? It does have little bands on the legs, hard to see, gotta get a better camera.... also my big (_l_) hermit was trying to eat it for dinner

[Luke]

yeah they definitely have striped legs... you normally just see a leg stretching out for food... not often u see the whole thing.

[St8Gr3]

Okay bet ya that darn hermit pulled it out LoL... putting it back in the tank now

[Narazbad]

Yeah, its a detrivore. Nothing to worry about.

[St8Gr3]

Thanks! Hopefully it decides to eat some diatoms!

[Narazbad]

No..won't eat that...but it will eat poop!

[St8Gr3]

Haha well okay then... just thought about this.. I dont eat shellfish because I'm allergic, but if crabs eat poop and then u eat the crab, in essence u are eating poop! LoL Wow!
