MiniStars from ipsf.com

http://www.ipsf.com MiniStars are tiny reef brittlestars that breed in the sandbed of your reef tank.

They are captive-bred at Indo-Pacific Sea Farms in Hawaii.

MiniStars consume detritus and algae while helping to keep the sandbed healthy and aerobic.

Before introducing MiniStars to your reef tank, place them in a shallow dish or bowl against a black background. Use a magnifying glass for a better view.

Please use only captive-bred organisms in your reef aquarium.

Aloha! Maybe within a few years the distributors in Canada will be selling our captive-bred organisms, but for now it is not feasible for us to export our live products there. In a word, there is too much red tape involved to make it economically feasible for us. Sorry about that! If you plan a trip to the states any time soon we can ship to any address there that is served by Fedex.

My little harlequin serpent star crawled up the intake of my walmart 5-15gal hob filter, is it likely dead or pigging out on all the bad stuff sucked in, should I look for it or let it be?

[ipsfdotcom]

No harm will be done if you look for it!

[kevin898989]

I assume they stay mini? and do you ship to canada?

[ipsfdotcom]

Yes, they do stay small. We do not ship internationally however. Sorry about that!

[kevin898989]

@ipsfdotcom why can't you ship internationally? livestock export/import issues? Is there anyway you could ship to canada, as in a few years I intend to set up a 1000gal reef and need an excellent detravour kit for it, and you seem to be the only supplier I can find that has the critters/sand bed boosters that I am looking for. The order would be huge, so I would like to think it would be cost effective for you guys.

You can PM me the answer to this question if you like, but how much are we talking for shipping these stars. I would think it would be up there because your in Hawaii and I am in Wisconsin?

[96WS7]

haha I looked too late, it died in the filter floss, thx anyways.

A 20 gal tank can easily accommodate dozens, even a hundred or more. Their biomass is very small.

Great, so how many do you think there will end up being in a 20 gallon FOWLR aquarium?
