Can I have starfish in my tank?

[michaelstern]

Can I add some starfish to my 420 folr? My current inhabitants include a 14" bamboo shark, 4 angels, a harlequin tusk, and 3 tangs. Would the stars become dinner like most of my snails and hermits?
Thanks :help: :notsure: :notsure: :notsure:

Probably.

The tusk, IMO, is probably the biggest threat. Triggers, wrasse, and puffers - common FO inhabitants, are big time primary predators of seastars. And I would imagine some large angels would be interested in tube feet of stars, or at least take some interest in them now and then.
