Should I get rid of my Harlequin?

[TheJGMProject]

I have a harlequin shrimp aptly named Harley. She did a nice job eradicating my asterina population and now I'm worried abour her food source. I find small pieces of asterinas in my sump every couple of days.

How often will she need to be fed in order to survive? If it's often I will probably sell/trade her

THanks for insights in advance

I've heard of people feeding large stars (linkia, chocolate chip) once a week.

JustPhish does that, I believe.

do any of these starfish harm corals, in particualr SPS?

Linkia and Formia are both reef safe varieties.

Lend her out to other people with Asterina problems.
