I just got a red thorny starfish I need some advice on how to feed it and take care of it and also is a chocolate chip starfish good for a FOWLER tank which is a 55gal

One star is enuff in a 55 gal...both would compete for the same food.
Altho I'm not partial to Protoreaster species due to the fact that they tend to become predatory when hungry and will eat your CUC and even sleeping fish, your best bet is to keep the starfish fed, which will likely mean target feeding it a variety of meaty foods.
Also, since your tank is FOWLR, be sure to watch your nitrate levels as echinoderms
are sensitive to them.
Finally, fish like triggers and puffers will eat sea stars.
