Hi,
I have a chocolate chip starfish in my previously FOWL tan and am now adding soft corals. I added a frag with Yellow polyps will Chocolate chip consume them?

The Chocolate star that I have didn't touch any corals with the previous owner for I think over a year and with me for quite a while. Until one day I picked up 2 large hermit crabs. The Hermits decided to munch on coral. After the feast began the chocolate star reconized coral as food. There was no turning back. I would try to move him away but he would go straight back after. So basically you might be okay for a while but if he decides to, well the concequences a not so good.

I think yellow polyp's must be extra tasty or something.
I've never had a problem with anything eating my corals,
Until i bought a frag of yellow polyp's that is.
They were consumed after 2 nights.
Since that every thing has been fine again.
