choc chip vs anemone

[RickySan]

I know that Choc chip stars are not reef safe, but I had a quick question. Does anyone know if choc chip stars eat anemones?

i dont think so, they would get sting

[micoral]

They eat coraline algae and I think the rocks even look smaller after they have been on them...... unless it is an aip or condy anemone I wouldn't chance it. Does the tank have enough lighting to support an anemone?

Chocolate Chip starfish will eat certain small anemones. They generally shy away from larger or long-tentacled anemones.

good thing starfish are armored.

Choc chip stars are not safe for any anemones, they can eat portions of the anemone quickly enough to kill them.
