New to Reef 2 Reef and Saltwater Tanks

[L_Star]

Hello All,


I am new to saltwater tanks. I recently set up a tank and purchased a Chocolate Chip Starfish. I did my research ahead of time, but I still feel clueless. If anyone has advice on taking care of our Chocolate Chip Starfish please flood me with information. I will probably post asking questions very soon.

Welcome to R2R. No expert on Starfish sorry, a lot of other things, like six legged spiders, but not starfish...

Welcome to Reef2Reef! My advice would have been to not put a sea star in a new system /: they will usually eat clams pretty readily

Welcome! Chocolate Chip Sea Stars are hardy in an aquarium and do require at least 3 - 6 months but yours can still live, Chocolate Chips are predatory and will eat soft corals (I do not know about polyps), clams, some inverts and small fish, even other sea stars. I love chocolate chips but they are just to deadly, it has been done before where they had a Chocolate Chip with lots of things I think you need to keep in very well fed.

Welcome to R2R! I only have experience with serpent stars and brittle stars, so I can't help on your question. Looks like you've gotten some good advice already, though! ;Joyful

Welcome to the Reef. Sorry no star fish here, except for the nuisance ones that sneak in.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice. I only have the star. No other fish in the tank.
