I just got one from manhattan aquarium but it was the last one. Maybe they're getting more. He's small but he is eating pretty quickly. I'm glad I didn't get a bigger one. I put a star in the bag when I first started acclimating him. The star was about one cm (with of my pinky finger) and the harlequin had him gone in two hours. I have a problem with these stars as well. They eat all of the coralline algae until most of them starve to death. I don't know the size of your tank but my 45 should be fine with this guy but I'll have to make sure he has a good supply. I don't want to buy starfish for food.

Ah yea once he eats all my asterina I will either get him starfish or give him to someone else that will need it, either way I would not let it starve..

Im just worried about my mystery wrasse getting brave and eating it!
