    Default Will this starfish survive ???

    I got this little baby as a freeloader on some Purple Ricordea Yuma I got Saturday.
    What are the chances that it survives ???

    I know that I will proberbly never see it again.

    It must be no more than 1cm big

    Hi,

    Do you have any Scooter Dragonets? The reason I am asking is that I recently got one of these tiny Starfish hitchhiking on a new Sun Coral but when I put it in the tank the Scooter promptly munched it.

    Don't drive faster than your Angel can fly
