The only thing that they eat are starfish. You need to be committed to the purchase of a chocolate chip starfish once week or so for their consumption. Without that food source they will die.
They are cool to watch, but at 15-20$ every two weeks, they're an investment.

i like them too.... very cool, but i don't know how i feel about continually buing starfish for them to eat alive..... i buy rats for my snake, but he kills them before he eats them.... :
Mike,
You wont be able to feed the chocolate chip starfish cause of your corals. I have 2, I got them to take care of the tiny star fish, now that they are gone, I'll be feeding them sand sifting star fish, you can get them from Steve for about $8 1-2 a month should be fine. It's pretty cool to watch them eat, they don't kill the star fish right away, mine eat a leg a week then save the body for last, it's kind of cruel but they have to eat :

I feed mine chocolate chip stars with no issues to the corals. Once the harlequins get a hold of the star they don't let it go so it doesn't get a chance to touch any corals.
oh it sounds so barbarric but that is life on the food chain i gotta get onemott768 said:Mike,
