I can't tell what specie of brittle star you have from the picture but if it gets big, its better to remove it. It can prey on fishes if its those type that gets big. If its those that stay small, their generally just harmless scavengers and good for the tank.

now the time to test my patience haha.. try to ignore the tank as much as possible.. I'm quite surprised the water is quite clear.. may consider to change the light just to keep some live coral in the future.

Things to take note will include: 1. Lighting requirements 2. Position in the tank (top, middle or bottom) 3. Water flow requirements (High, you may want to put it near the outlet of the pump or add another powerhead, low; put it near the bottom) 4. Feeding requirements (non-photosynthetic coral like sun corals need to be fed occassionally) 5. Compatibility of other livestocks like fish in the aquarium |

day 3 cycling process.. the starfishes went missing O,O; the 2 small crabs is still around and found a small snails in the glass.. water is clear never check water parameter since i'm rushing out to office.
Mind ask after the cycling process can i intro fishes in this order? yellow tail blue damsel x 1 after 2 weeks clownfish x 2 I read somewhere that blue damsel is quite aggressives against other fish but it's one of my fav.. Or should I just keep one damsel.. =s it's one of my fav marine fish. I may try to take out the crabs at any opportunity since they look abit like gorilla crabs.. =.=;; |

for such small tank, with damsel, no others. haha.. especially clowns. you can introduce clowns straight away, they are hardy fishes that can tahan slight nitrite too as long as your water parameters are fine..
