That's kinda demented...do you feed them stars that are alive? Have you ever just feed them a leg, then left the star to regenerate it's leg back?

Live stars. This was their first meal under my care. I may try the leg method later on but purely for economical purposes. I'll probably end up putting a few stars in the sump of my other aquarium and care for them there to see how they do. I've heard rumors that stars have trouble regenerating in a captive environment.

That sounds like a pretty logical idea...nice. I really think Harleys' look cool as Sh*$, but I'm leary because of thier diet.

brittles are too fast. asterinas are the main diet of my harlie (RIP other guy) but i go with the leg method once a week (with four starfish to give them time to regenerate legs). nice shrimp.

Hey how many asterinas would a harlequin shrimp go through and how quickly?
