starfish?

[donzo]

I got a chocolate chip starfish the other day and i just wanted to know if there was a special food to give it or anything..if anyone knows somethin...please leave a message. Thanx

They'll eat any sort of meaty food from the ocean. Shrimp, mussels, squid, scallops, krill, octopus, etc. I think most people just stick with pieces of shrimp. Just make sure the pieces aren't too big.
You could feed them a piece of one of the foods mentioned above perhaps three times a week. Some people may feed more or less often than that, but a lot of it is just personal preference.

Thanx buddy...what do i just put it under one of its arms or right in the mouth...?

 

[donzo]

What kinda fish do u have?

 

[lefty]

If you put it next to one of his arms, he will go to it himself. You can also place it directly under him, if you'd like.
Right now, I only have a pair of ocellaris clownfish and a pair of cleaner shrimp. I will be getting a Firefish, Black Clown Goby, and Chocolate Chip star eventually.

The chocolate chip star may eat your anemone, they are not reef safe. Not a guarantee, but the chocolate chip star is a predator of snails, clams, scallops, corals and any slow moving or sessile invertebrate.
