Can I feed my star this?

[saltyjewell]

My red starfish is *suppose* to be an algea eatter and I have seen it eatting algea off the rocks and glass. However one leg is getting shorter then the rest so I figure it's more like a veg and meat eatter.
I've tried giving it the froozen brine but all I managed to do is knock it off the glass and send it upside down on a rock

The only other thing I can think of tring is the froozen shrimp in the freezer? It's "human" food but is raw. Can I try slipping it a peice of that?
Hum? I could try a bit of the seaweed I have for the Tangs to I guess. Only problem is it spends 99% of it's time on the glass, not quite sure how I'm going to give it to it without knocking it down again

I feed my bristle star the Hikari large sinking pellet and he gobbles them up.

Well it didn't like the seaweed or shrimp

I tried pellets beforee too and it wouldn't eat it

What kind of star is it again? I can't remember.
Is it a sand sifter star? Or a brittlestar? Or something else?

The IFS just had it listed as "red Starfish" Has the shape of the "general Redstar" fish listed on this sight but with out the stuff on the top. Its has black tips though and a bumping back

I had a Chocolate starfish when i saw it towards the top i would try to fit a dried shrimp into its legs/arms and it would eat it

I lifted it right up and put it on the shrimp it just crawled off. It crawled onto the seaweed when I put it down but then went off as quick as it went on.
