Feeding harlequin shrimp with frozen stars?
 
Hi, I am looking for anyone who has had experiences with feeding harlequin shrimp forzen stars legs

I feed mine live stars legs and they would finish the whole thing leaving only small rock like bones Within 1 week

However, I moved onto forzen and the result of feed seems different. Now they don't tear or finish the whole stars, after 1 week the starfish legs still looks same.

Just wondering if they are actually feeding the frozen stars or they are just super picky and only eat lives?

Thanks

I feed mine once every two weeks or so.
He use to eat a whole star a week.
He isn't picky. You just gotta cut back on feeding.
They well eat frozen.

Once every two weeks for entire stars or stars legs?

Thank you

I feed my single shrimp 1 chocolate chip arm per week , and let the cc stars regenerate in my sump . You will need quit a few of them to do this method , but they keep my sump clean.

I always hated cutting the legs. Only because they are really hard. I found tin snips work the best.
