For that matter, we might as well consider the spotted filefish and easy to keep fish. After all, since it's a voracious coral eater, then as long as you throw in plenty of sps he will be fine.

As Ronen mentioned, any fish with a dedicated diet, goes in the hard to keep/advanced category. Agree? LOL

Ronen, the best time to get pics is when you feed him. Drop the starfish in the front and start snapping.

How do you do it?
one live starfish every week or two will be fine. what the harlequin do is flip the star upside down and start eating from the legs to the central disk. the star is pretty much alive throughout the whole thing.

you could do like i do. cut the legs off the star and feed a leg every week or two or you could leave the star intact and they will hunt it down. you could get several but one will last a long while.

i have to disagree w/ you here pedro. feeding starfish in no way compares to buying pricey sps and then keeping them alive in your tank for the filefish to eat.
