Ok so a friend had a break in his tank and the only thing that lived somehow is his chocolate starfish. He needed somewhere to keep it, so i took it. And it gave me the excuse to finally take out all my Live Rock and catch that damsel. So now im down a damsel and up a starfish. He didn't tell me how to care for it (and he was extremely mad, family/girlfriend problems plus his tank breaking all in the same day) so im needing some help. If it helps, it a 30 gallon tall with 56 pounds LR, 610 gph turnover rate, 1 clownfish, 1 coralbanded shrimp, 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 emerald crab, and 5 hermit crabs. I do have a featherduster and some sort of small (i think red leather) coral, and i have read that they aren't reef safe so im kinda expexting them to be gone tomorrow morning. Also the tank has only been set up 3 months now (i swore up and down it had been 4, but my girlfriend proved me wrong again) so im worried about it starving to death. I do tend to over feed a lot, but i have been cutting back to once every other day instead of twice a day. Anyways, if you have some good info on how to care for this thing, help me out. He is starting to grow on me already, looks good in my tank. So i really don't want it to die. Besides that, i havent had anything die on me yet, and i don't want someone elses to be my first.
