Cool Harlequin Pics....

stpauli914 · 11/29/2009, 04:07 PM

I borrowed a Harlequin from Emmett a while back to help clear up my Asterina explosion. Well, he wasn't really putting a dent in them so I picked up another from FAOIS a couple weeks ago. Now the two of them are tag teaming the baby starfish and I THINK they may be SLOWLY clearing them up. Well after I put the second one in I didn't see either of them till this afternoon. They were walking across the front of the tank together with an asterina in both there claws!! Coolest thing I've ever seen in my tank. I took about 100 pictures but only got 4 that turned out decent. Hope you enjoy!!

They don't mess with my brittle star. My Blue Linkia is in the refugium though. They are like candy to Harlequins I've heard

Do Harlequins reproduce in captivity?

Imho...I would stick with just the 2 that paired up. If you get more it will just be odd man out.

As far as breeding, they very well might. But the offspring will be food if not caught in the filtration.
