I have one and can't get rid of it. I've tried trading it to LFS but they already had one.
I had some amazing Red Gracilaria Macro-algae growing on a couple of LR, he ate all of it. Got a red marble starfish, he ate it 5 days later.
He ate a small hermit and one of my astrea snails. I'm scared to get coral for fear of him eating it. I can't get any other stars or sand sifting critters cause he might devour them.
I really like watching him move around the tank though. I would like to keep him but not in this tank.
Hope this helps.

I've never had one, just because I've heard this many times on this board...these guys know pretty much what they're talking about when it comes to critters...

I've even seen a chocolate chip star eat a sea urchin once.
