Awesome starfish behavior

[wsz594]

Some lady gave me a couple of free chocolate chip stars, one is about 8" and the other is about 9". They come up the side of glass and hang on by only 1 leg with their bellies at the surface. I just drop whole krill on their arms and they pass it all the way down to the mouth and eat it, the lady who gave them to me said that they do this about twice a week. It makes it really easy to keep them fed since they need to eat so much. Its also super cool to watch. Hopefully I can keep them well fed so they dont eat my snails and hermits. : )

If you have corals, becarefull, they like to eat them. I had one, not knowing, it mowed through my zoas real fast.

No corals, just fish, snails, crabs, and shrimps.

Well then, congrats on getting well trained stars.

I will get a video on my phone and upload it to youtube and post a link. Its so cool to watch, I had a party with like 30 people at my house, and they did it in front of everyone, it was awesome.
