Guess you feel I should mind my own business, but guess what here on MR any living animals welfare is our business. Why not just give the star fish to the first lfs you find? I am absolutely sure any one of them will take in a freebie.
If you got stood up it was probably because your freebie came with strings attached.
I am not one for confrontations, nor for causing trouble. But you have manage to be the first person here on MR that has really gotten under my skin.
Sorry for the rant folks, but I just couldn't stay silent on this one.;(
How old are you? How were you doing me a favor? You were getting a free anemonie which you decided you did not want to take the drive to pick it up.
You contact me, and tell me that if I want it I should drive to the person who is giving it away for free to pick it up.
In return I should give you a frag out of my tank.LOL
I don't care if you wanted a .02 or $100 frag. Your intent was to charge me for something that was not your's, and not even in your possession.
Please explain how this was you doing me a favor!!!!!!!!
When you could've just been honest with Mr. First, and allowed him to move forward with his intent in finding a home for his' friend's anemone. You have turned one person's good deed into a drama...
This was you looking for something for free....
I give freely all the time! Others here can attest to that!
I never ask for anything in return, all I ask of those that have received something free from me is that they pay it forward at some point.
As to your star fish! I for one do not patrol the "Freebie Thread". I know of at least 1 person that offered to take it if no one else would.
BTW, your star fish is the first I ever heard of that attacked snails. Are you sure that snail wasn't dead or dying?
Hope the star fish found a new home, other then your garbage can.

First off. You said you were doing an anemone only tank, so I told you to go ahead and get the one for free, just throw me a $5 frag or something. Thats me doing you a favor crazy. Then as I already posted, I tried to leave it for free in 2 lfs here, both said i couldnt leave it as they wouldnt take responsibility. Then I changed around my schedules on Tuesday and Wednesday for NYCdominican, and Onetimer to pick this up and neither even called to tell me they werent coming. They can tell you , there were no strings, they just ran into some problems, thanks for guessing though.
As far as killing a living thing, I should keep the star and risk it killing more of my live stock as opposed to killing it? If I let it kill everything in my tank it would be better than killing one thing?
There are a lot of self-righteous people on here, none of which would come and save this "animal" you all "care" about so much.
