I couldn't agree with you more Quinn.



EmilyB,

I have had the Chocolate chip star although (quite large) for over a year now. I also have a DSB that keeps the star on the sand bed mostly then the glass. Perhaps I have a wanderer.

I dont feed the star pellets though. What kinda pellets do you feed yours?

Maybe if you keep your's filled with pellets it won't try. Mine did take a while to eat certain corals, over the course of the year.

I have two of them and their behavior is identical. I feed shrimp pellets and spirulina pellets. When I can get the OSI stickons I do, and they plant themselves on them for a day or two.

Perhaps Trig(no-metric-functions) keeps them in line as well.

Well the only real way you will know what corals both your chocolate chip star will eat is to stick em in your reef and find out. Don't say I didn't warn you though.

It's my FOWLR tank, not my reef. Now THAT would be different...

Hmm.... they eat corals. See above for which ones I lost.

Funny you ask.

The Starfish & (3) chromis are taken. BUT.....The cleaner wrasse MAY still available. The lady that was going to take the cleaner wrasse just emailed me and told me she decided she wasn't going to take em.

I'm just waiting to here back from another inquiring about if he (next in line) wants the wrasse

I will post an update later.
