Noticed there hadn't been a post in this forum for a while, so I thought I'd try for some feedback. I have a sea star (a chocolate chip to be exact) who spends it's time in the sump to keep it away from the snails (and to keep him handy to hold). I was curious as to how often it should be fed. Currently, I feed him a chunck of fish/shrimp/shark formula twice a week. It is doing ok (or seems to be), but wanted to see what yall think. ------------- Cortney (West Jordan) The joy of discovery is certainly the liveliest that the mind of man can ever feel. - Claude Bernard |

The more you feed the bigger it will get. I am not joking when I give you the size of a chocolate chip star a friend of mine has. It is almost 10" across as of last year. He hand feeds it almost everyday!! It started the size of a baseball, three years ago.------------- John Fletcher 20 years experience (Tank of the Month for May 2003)Taking a little break... |
