Harlequin Shrimp

[kar93]

Im thinking of getting a harlequin when my reef is setup, I know they only eat starfish but i read on another thread that someone was going to try forzen starfish but now i cant find the thread. So what would you all recommend feeding? Will frozen stars work?

thanx

Get two chocolate chip starfish (they are NOT reef safe) and store it in your sump. Cut off a leg every couple of weeks and feed.

So will the legs grow back fast then?

I had mixed results with my Harlequin pair feeding frozen starfish. One would eat them no problem but the other wouldnt touch them. I ended up just putting a large chocolate chip star in abount once a month and they did fine. I ended up loosing them to my PHs.
