Killer starfish ?
Just curious I've had my starfish for about 4 years .. he's pretty big, choc chip. Well he ate my sea urchin, now my big snail I've had for long time is dead, I think he ate him and now my other snail is dead. I know it was him because the snail had some.green on the shell for the longest time and now after I looked it was clean off. Should I now be careful of what I put in my tank?? Will he eat whatever he comes across?? Is this normal? I feed him every other day. Like ***??? Any comments are helpful ..thanks.

choc chips are not reef safe...a harley will take care of him
 Or you can trade him in.

I second the nomination.Mine runs through 1 chocolate chip star every 7-10 days.Linkias seem to last a little longer but cost more.

Don't buy a harlequin unless you're prepared to continue feeding it stars. Much simpler to just remove the one you have.
