Harlequin Shrimp

[ucbearcats]

I was looking to get a Harlequin Shrimp for my 10 gallon tank.  The thing I am concerned about is how to people keep a supply of starfish for them to eat?  Is a 10 gallon tank ok to keep it in with a cleaner shrimp pistol shrimp goby and emerald crab? 

Thanks

you would most likely have to feed it in a tank that size.  Most people give it a leg off a chocolate chip every few days.

A few people keep the chocolate chip stars in their sumps. If you have maybe 5-6 you can rotate by cutting off the arms and let some of them heal and that way you don't place too much stress on one individual starfish. An ok solution to not setting up another tank.

That is exactly what I did with mine and it worked well.
