jvision Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Did you buy these 2nd hand from someone who may have used them on a SW tank? They look like parts of Brittle Stars to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 A bleach solution will sterilize them. Also a strong brine (really salty) solution should get rid on most everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
