I picked up a bruised and battered baby emerald star from the store... all of the limbs had been severed by something in the store tank, and it was in quarantine and about to be discarded because it hadn't fully regenerated and the Q-box was needed for a more pricey invert. So I bought this guy and put him in my 1 g vase.
That's a dwarf blue legged for scale. And they are fighting for a pellet of Formula 1.
Beautiful isn't it? Too bad these emerald stars have a rep of being fish eaters... and they also get huge. I've seen one that could wrap around a basketball it was so big.
It's tentacles have grown immensely under my care and I handfeed it with a shishkebob skewer.
Too bad I'll have to trade it away as it grows... but that's the beauty of a reef club, there's a market for everything.
