That's incouraging Amyjoe, Now keeping in mind we have only had the setup a few months, and we are finding more and more of them, do they grow real slow, are they constantly being replaced as others are part of the food chain. I am bewildered that I never find any growing larger.
We have had them in multple tanks and have never had any issues they just seem to eat the detritis, loved living in my macro algae. We use to give them away kinda like the rabbit snail, my 29 was full of them when I had macro in the main tank.
I have not seen the baby stars in quite a while. I think the mortality rate is much less without the macro algea in the tank. If they do come back though i will let you know.
