    I can't wait to see it grown in either, sounds very cool. Looks like you got some cool aquascape going there as well. Keep us posted!

    Looks like an oragne linikia star, they are super cool but not the most hardy.
    However those other stars I see, you should try and get those out of there. Its a 50/50 risk with those bugers.
