I have been told that chocolate chip star fish eat corals. What type of corals do they eat?
If they mainly eat softies I have some woods polyps that need to be removed from some rock. ------------- Contact me for professional aquarium maintenance and localy grown coral frags. [URL=http://www.aquatitranquility.com][/URL] |

I was not able to find info on the Chocolate Chip Star...But I did find other stars that were not reef safe. Their diet was the same, so I would guess that the Chocolate chip star would feed the same. Here is what I found: "As it grows older, however, it is not reef compatible, as it will eat soft corals, sponges, tubeworms, clams, starfish, and other invertebrates." ------------- =========== Shawn Winterbottom |

Yeah - what he said.
I've had them in the past, they eat everything they can catch --> including tubeworms, coral, clams, etc. But .... I have two harlequin shrimp that would love to meet your starfish for dinner sometime.

I was just hoping for the impossible. I was hoping that the cc would start with woods polyps and then move on to pale green palythoa. 
The reason I have the starfish is for my soon to arive harliquin shrimp ------------- Contact me for professional aquarium maintenance and localy grown coral frags. [URL=http://www.aquatitranquility.com][/URL] |

| The CC stafish in my FOWLER tank hasn't even tried climbing up the rockwork yet and he's been in there over a week now. He like the glass and the substrate. I'm sort of hoping he'll eat some Green Paylthoa as well. |
