Yeah I was worried about it rotting in my tank, that's why I froze it. The shrimp's about 1" and I feed a peice the same size as him. It is pretty cool to watch it eat. So I guess I'll feed every 4 days now. Would that be good enough?

I bought one for my 170g reef about 3 months ago, have been putting stars in there but I see him again until a few nights ago. I kind of skimped out for a couple weeks so I think he has been living off my astrinias.

Will be getting a second when I come by one, AMAZING personality when they are out and man I know it's inhumane but I love how they subdue starfish and slowly eat them .

I'm not mutilating a live one in case anyone is wondering.

Why do humans have such a problem with nature , I find an open polyp eating a copepod to be pretty fascinating how would this be any different? Just one invert eating another .
