choc chip vs anemone

[AiredaleReef]

I know that Choc chip stars are not reef safe, but I had a quick question. Does anyone know if choc chip stars eat anemones?

i dont think so, they would get sting

They eat coraline algae and I think the rocks even look smaller after they have been on them...... unless it is an aip or condy anemone I wouldn't chance it. Does the tank have enough lighting to support an anemone?

Chocolate Chip starfish will eat certain small anemones. They generally shy away from larger or long-tentacled anemones.

good thing starfish are armored.

Choc chip stars are not safe for any anemones, they can eat portions of the anemone quickly enough to kill them.

Triggerfish seem to enjoy Chocolate Chip stars as well.
