WTB Harlequin Shrimp

[topmav1]

Want to buy it to control my asterina starfish population. Think they are mowing down my coralline. If anyone has anything they want to say about pros and cons let me know. Otherwise if you have one for sale LMK!

Well after the asterinas are gone you have to buy a choc chip starfish and keep cutting its legs off to feed them which in my opinion is pretty F'd up. What I did was just take all the rock out of my tank and all my coral and pull every lil sucker off I could find. I still find one here and there but I noticed my zoos are not disappearing anymore. Any time I see one I take it out immediately. I think best bet if anything is maybe see if you can borrow one from somebody.

Ye that is f'ed up. Not sure I can do that.
Great idea...so if anyone has one to borrow lmk!

once you get a H-Shrimp in your tank it will be pretty damn hard to find it again.

Also be careful as it will probably eat your snails too. Don't handle it as it will shred your hands up.

Also has been known to crack glass

This is completely incorrect!

This is the information for a MANTIS SHRIMP. Not a Harlequin Shrimp.
