Choc Chip Starfish Diet

[Meadowlark]

I just picked up a Choc Chip Starfish and will keep him in my 10 gallon quarantine tank for the next 4 weeks. What should I feed him while in Qt and also once I put him in my display tank?

Mine eats mysis, silversides, and brine shrimp that fall to the bottom.

That star will eat anything and everything. Good for a
fish and live rock tank. If you plan to keep corals that
star will eat your corals a little bit at a time. As it
moves along it eats everything in its path. Easy to
catch but as you stock your reef watch out. dbr

What do you feed a predator that eats anything? Anything it can find.

 

[Meadowlark]

How do you know how much to feed him?

 

[Meadowlark]

Would you go with frozen shrimp or something else? Also I have a bare bottom quarantine tank should I just throw some shrimp in there and let my starfish find it? or should I feed it directly somehow?

the only thing those are good for in a reef tank is harliquin food.

I found mine (well not mine anymore) on top of my coral banded shrimp. Wether it was dead before or after the star decided to make it its food, I dont know.
