harlequin shrimp

Hey I don't have a picture yet but I will, I bought a harlequin shrimp yesterday and when I got him they were pulling bags out of the boxes and I asked them if they had one and they said yes. I got him home put him in a bucket to start acclimating him and decided before I do that to try and feed a star fish to em and to my amazement, as soon as I dropped a nuisance asterina star in he dove on it and started eating it. When I run out of stars already in my tank I will purchase 3 chocolate chip star fish to cycle through legs for him, it is so cool.
