SRC Member cityofangels Posted December 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 1, 2005 Erm, pardon my ignorance.. But don't starfishes have the capability to re-grow a new leg/arm (whichever way you wish to look at it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kueytoc Posted December 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 1, 2005 Starfish has a low rate of survival in a captive reef tank...so it's better to remove the specimen now before it starts to rot.
