My Harlequin was hungry, so I picked up some new starfish for him........here is the battle. This starfish was strong, this battle lasted almost 6 hours, the bare bottom tank helped his cause, but in the end the shrimp still won.

That was neat to watch. How often do you have to feed it a star?

Haven't quite figured it out yet. Right now about 1 a month, but I feed asterina stars in between. I've heard that some will remove a leg and let the starfish go, where mine will sit on the star until I remove it, or it's completely eaten......so I'm wondering if mine is a bit underfed right now.

Neat, i cut a leg off a starfish amd put the rest in the sump. I have found if you give them a whoke starfish they will eat most of it but leave the rest to rot in the tank somewhere that you cannot get to. We have had ours about a year and a half

I do normally pull the starfish out after he eats a leg or two. Maybe mine is a bit starved, as he finishes the entire thing. The only thing I find is the calcium based knobs.
