Mid-Columbia Saltwater Aquarium Club

April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Jeff,

I have not heard of anything good about the little starfish, except they make great fun for hunters.  

From the few that I have picked off in the past, they were not cleaning the tank walls.

Thanks for Sharing this Rick It just caught me off guard. As i do have some. I have never seen them eat any of my Corals and i used to pull them out of my tank all the time but about a year back I was noticing all they were doing was cleaning the Glass & rock work. I thought it was nice to have free Janitors So I have left them alone. They haven't really Increased in amount. But at this time I am going to watch them alot closer,In fact  I have ever since Angel posted the info on this thread...jeff
