Ok, so as a very delayed Christmas present from my friend I was given a chocolate chip starfish! I don't think my friend really knew that I don't know much about SW tanks... anyway, its in a 5g with some sand, a heater at 77 degrees, and a pH of 8.2.... and what the fish store called a SW filter? anyway, after some research I know that my tank is WAY TOO small.... Don't get mad at me for getting without researching... I didn't someone else got it for me without my knowing.... Whay do I need to feed my starfish, and what is their minimum tank size? right now my little guy in only 2ish inches.. anyway, sorry for not researching b4, but I can't really help that..... also, I know that CC Stars aren't reefsafe, so what would you reccomend I put in the tank so there isn't just sand? Also, In his tank there are .5 cups of salt per gallon, this is how much I was told to do.... is it correct? Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for any help at all!

Its funny, every freshwater hobbyist who comes over to saltwater asks about plants. It is just a mindset. If you are determined to have some greenery, i would honestly consider some high quality plastic plants that are made with saltwater in mind.

That is why we have Bright Green Zoas, Monti Caps, Tons of other SPS, mushrooms, coraline algae, Plate Corals, Frogspawn, Hammers, GSP, and rics, just to name a few. I'll get some pics of mine later.
ya, but can you put those in a tank as small as 5g? And I would love pics... By the way, I won't be posting pics anywhere anytime soon....I got an A in all of my classes, but I somehow got a 80.3% in SS, soooo no more phone till I raise that to an A... Ugggg
Any updates? I'm new here, but I'm very interested to see whether or not V's 5G tanks worked out well.
