feeding green brittle starfish

[hitech300]

I have a 2" x 14" green brittle starfish that I'm unsure that he's getting feed properly. I try krill but my snowflake eel gets to the food first. The star fish is primarily eating loose granules that rest on the bottom. Any help is appreciated.

any meaty food placed on the end of a skewer to reach down to it..it will pull it off....thats how I feed my serpants. Usually if you see the ends of it's arms waving in the currant from the rockwork or out moving during the day it's hungry.

Feed your eel first. Eventually, it will get enough and stop grabbing the food so you can feed the star.

What other fish are in this tank? Green brittles are notorious fish eaters.

Yes, they will take fish.

A warning well worth heeding...
