Thanks... I hope i dont have encounters with those sea stars. How common are they in the trade? Do they hitch rides often or are they kinda rare?
#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Are they veryhard to keep? And i've herd that they only eat star fish, is this true? Thanks for the help#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
that is correct that is their main diet, they are good at ridding a tank of pest stars such as asternia stars. other than that they are great in a tank. just dont have any stars. I know a guy that has one and he buy chocolate chip stars and freezes them and cuts a chunk off to feed the harlequin. Kind of sad for the choco star but they are such a beautifull shrimp.
#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Will he be able to eat a blue star that is about 4 to 5 inches across? or does he just take them in chunks?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
