harley shrimp/ chocolate chip starfish

[wschang812]

can a starfish be too big for a harley shrimp to eat? or will the starfish eventually eaten, just more slowly?

I gave my harlequin a huge chocolate chip star and he rode it around for a couple of days eating pieces off the top .
To make everyone's life easier i started keeping the ccstar in my sump and would cut a portion off the legs twice a week the stars lasted alot longer and I didnt have to worry of anything left decaying in the tank

oo ok, my harley is riding the shrimp right now and eating little pieces off the top. does it eat the whole starfish or only the tube feet?

 

[emmanuel]

the whole thing

 

[wschang812]

how do i keep the cc star from dying before getting eaten? does it just eat left over food and detritus?

 

[DrCooper]

dont worry, the harley handle the whole thing on his own!
