The Harleys will hunt down the asterinas themselves.
You just need to make sure that when they get low on asterinas that you provide them with a startfish they will eat. I feed mine chocolate chip stars (argh). They let me know when they are out of food by coming out in front (seems intentional when I am around) and waving their arms around.

Awesome pic RJ! Best of wishes with them! I have to get another once I'm done with my tank.;)

By the way, my harley was never able to wipe out my tanks of the asterinas since by the time I put it in my tank the tank was almost completely covered with them.lol But the plan was that once it did wipe them out it would get chocolate starfish..

RJ they will make fast work of those stars. I had the same problem hundreds on the glass at night. Added 1 Harley about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and population is already down at least 25% or more. Every time I see mine it is eating a star. I'm loving it, because those little bastards even started eating my acans!!!
