These are the inverts I have currently in my tank:Chocolate Chip Starfish, Hermit Crab, & a small Featherduster that came attached to some live rock. How tolerant, if any, are these three inverts to hyposalinity treatment for ich? Copper? I know the featherduster would probably die at the slightest sign of copper but how about the hermit crab or starfish?

All the animals you list including the LR itself will be killed by both copper and hyposalinity. Please use a seperate quarantine tank for all treatments needed.

Cheers

Sessile and mobile invertebrates cannot contract C. irritans. :wink: Also, the cost of an animal should not dictate your level of care. If you cannot give each one equal consideration then you should not get them!!

Very ture. Even if something is 15 cents, is it not a life?
