reefnjunkie Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Nice My ORA Valida tri look like #7 not #5-I have SPS that look llike 5 but not the Valida- Nice stuff you have-question for ya, is the star fish safe for the corals? I thought I heard as a rule "bumpy" starfish bad, "smooth" starfish good- Regardless good looking set up, some of those look like they came from Westside???
