I am new to the saltwater world. I've had many freshwater setups but no saltwater. I recently bought a tank that has been running for just over a year. I have two small perc clowns and a choclate chip star fish and wondering if any one has had a choc. star. for a while and could help. Lots of place tell you lots of thing. Like to feed them meaty flesh once or twice a week. Igave it some catfish yesterday. He sits at the top so I handed it to his arm and he pulled it toward his mouth. Then it sat under him till I left for work this morning. It was pretty small peice does it take 24 hours before it will consume it. Any tips on feeding and care would be great. I have nothing but my two fish some live rock and my star no corals or inverts for him to destroy.

Sea Stars are echinoderms, in the same group as cukes and urchins, when a sea star eats something he actually ejects one of its two stomachs which intern absorbs the food whole and brings it back in the body for digestion.
So give it a while to eat something, I would try feeding cut up shrimp from the store. Thats probably cheapest, and easiest.
He isn't a threat to your pair of clowns, I don't think he would hurt the nem. but I wouldn't count on that. They just aren't cool enough to go through the trouble.
