How many Asterinas can you count

[weaglereefer]

Since they've finished off my zoas they've started to take on the coraline on my back well and overflow. How many Asterina stars can you count in this pic? :sad: (ignore the bleached monti cap and tuft of hair algae)

I need a harlequin shrimp........

i got 2 and they are barely touching mine ive been pulling 20 out a day

I count 1,387,429,432. Looks like my tank did a while back. Weird thing was, they were in there for years without touch any of the corals, but once a frag of zoas disappeared, I got a Harley.

i had those guys and i don't think they bugged my zoas but, i was having issues with a couple pieces not wanting to open so....

 

[pamelahaley]

im not sure if that was sarcasm or you mean the two big ones with 4 legs are the bad ones?

i stopped counting @ 50....

I came up with 59...do I win??

 

[weaglereefer]

Oh, almost forgot, the winner gets to buy and deliver a harlequin shrimp to me!!!


(should I have mentioned that first?)

 

[coolsurf]

Such a card...! :yes:

Haha...the sad thing is, this is with the lights on. At night time it looks like the walls are moving there's so many of them. It is quite gratifying to let them pile up on the front glass, then use the mag float and send them all flying. I wish the fish liked to eat them, it would be an all-you-can-eat buffet!

i have been picking them out of my tank 10 at a time and seems like there are even more. the more i take out the more pops up. is a harlequin shrimp the only thing that will eat them?

Why not take your net and a piece of acrylic as a scraper and catch them all?

Cause the next day there's twice as many. I swear, every time I pull some out, double show up in 10min...
