What kind of starfish? I have over a million bristle stars and quite a few brittle stars in my tank. Including a few that might be zoo predators.

I had one of these bad boys and it did not last very long. I have a ton of brittle stars and it did not seem to touch those. I had a bunch of those little white starfish and it ate all of those. To this day I have never seen a little white starfish in the tank again. Then I froze a starfish and was trying to feed it a leg at a time. I never saw it again and think it must have starved as it just did not like legs. The only time it would eat was if it had an entire starfish put in with it to munch on. EEWWWW.

they eat linckia mainly best wat to feed them is keep the starfish separate and break a leg every week or so you need a few starfish so that they regrow as fast as they are removed

I only tried the frozen method because I have a 28 gallon tank and no refugium or sump or anything. Asked for advice and somebody told me to freeze a star and break the legs off but I guess mine just did not like frozen food. I watched her tear two $20 starfish into pieces and then decided to try something cheaper. She just would not go for it at all.

Yeah I had heard the idea to freeze them too, almost did but made use of other spaces I had and am happy....she sure got through the asterina population...I see very very few now (which I am thankful for as I find them in zoa and corals...)
