chocolate chip starfish

[aquaman623]

What and how should I feed the starfish?

They will take nearly anything, including shrimp pellets, shrimp, squid, silversides, algae wafers, etc. They can be fed by placing the food at the tip of one of the arms.
FYI, in case you don't know, they are not reef safe and will often eat corals, anemones, snails, etc.
AND, last but not least, welcome to the board!

She's right. Trust me they eat corals! I didn't do my resaerch and found out the hard way!

Sorry to butt in on the thread but.......how often should they be fed. I've read about once a week but.....If it is only once a week, how much should they be fed.
I'd like to buy one but don't know much about them.

I've never fed mine.......it gets all it needs on its own.
