If you don't mind feeding them live star fish every 2-3 weeks, they're a lovely addition to any reef tank | |

That depends on how much you pay for starfish in your area. I fed mine chocolate chip starfish which cost me about $8 a pop. | |

I just bought a pair from tangster and they dont look aggressive to me. My LFS sells chocolate chip starfishs at $6.00. $6-$8 every 2-3 weeks isnt expensive, imo _________ 9YR OLD 90G/55g custom sump/refug Mag18 Aquac 180skimmer 692w MH AC jr,yel&kole tang,midas&convict blenny,B&G chromies,Blk/yel fin chromie blackcap,nemo,neon goby,6line; Blastomussa Merleti,Acan ,BUBBLE,Torch,LTA, Acropora(2) Moon, assort zoas, yel& G star polyps, P&B ricordia, montiporas, cup&candy corals, xenias,B/G mush,flower ane(2), cherry red mussa, dusters,cleaning crew..  | |
