Excellent pic of the starfish, I wanted a chocolate chip starfish too but apparently they are not reef safe and eventually I do want to have a complete reef with corals and stuff on it. Excellent pics tho!

ya chip (the shrimp) eats a star in about 2 weeks, he never lets go of it, so im not worried about it going ape crap on my corals. I keep about 2-3 CC stars in my sump

ya the shrimp only eats starfish, the last 3 stars i left in there even when it was down to the last leg it was still alive... I havent noticed a rise in ammonia at all feeding this way.. but i do keep i eye to see if its dead or not
