They are very stunning critters, but seeing as they pretty much only eat starfish, you have to be prepared to feed them that and plan accordingly.

I have owned one for about 5 months maybe more.All I do is buy like 10 chocolate chip starfish keep um in my sump and chop a little bit of there arm of as they will regenerate it.Once in a while I will just buy him acheap 10 dollar star and let him eat the whole thing.Other than keeping somewhere for the food and cutting up th star's there fairly easy.
