SRC Member the oracle Posted June 3, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 3, 2007 So what does it eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member RX_GAN Posted June 4, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 4, 2007 Fromia Indica...feed on junk foods...which means any uneaten food and stuffs... dun really need to feed it if u do feed your fishes. it will search for food on it's own. but if u wan, u can still feed it with what u are feeding now. just place it besides it... cheers. good luck.

SRC Member the oracle Posted June 5, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 5, 2007 they seem to move very slow in my tank is there a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member RX_GAN Posted June 6, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 6, 2007 not a prob. starfishes normally will look for food at night and move during this time. sometimes when they dun feel like moving, they will just stay there. unless u see them releasing some stuffs and body starts to curl up, it'll be fine.

contrails Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 My starfish actually move very fast around the tank. This minute here, half an hour later already somewhere else. Crawls on everything. I just got another starfish. This one hardly moves. Let me see if I have a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
