Starfish

[reef123]

I wanted to try to get a starfish. what kind of starfish do you think would be good to start with?

[jojo22]

A serpent star is reef safe will stir your sand and are really cool (but you won't see it much). How old is your tank??? You should have a mature tank to add these guys because they eat out of the sand bed.

My tank is a couple of months old but it;s doing good. i havn't had anything die so far and i have liverock that i lust put in about 2 weeks ago.

[reef123]

how do you feed them? do you need to?

[reef123]

how are chocolate chip starfish?

[mutts]

chocolate chip starfish will eat coral. serpant stars are very interesting, cool looking, and hardy. they are a great starter starfish. with other types of stars you have to be careful with salinity.

will they eat brine shrimp?

[reef123]

or blood worms?

[pass1over]

serpent stars creep me out, especially big ones

as far as I know, they'll eat anything then can get their mouth on

i dropped a shrimp pellet by him and he would walk to it and it was neat to watch it scoop it up and put it in its mouth...you would see the shape of the pellet in its stomach (body)...
