Harlequin Shrimp question?

[Hud934]

How long do they take to eat a starfish?

How often do you have to feed them?

Will they eat anything else?

depending on size I think I've read from half a month-1 month

When the starfish runs out I think

Some people have trained theirs to eat frozen starfish.

Err....hmmm...I dunno. But I've seen someone mention it. I'd rather stick with live because it doesn't rot in your tank while the harley eats it. But I have read it somewhere.....It was bluezooaquatics!

I've also heard of people cutting off limbs of a starfish( they will grow back) from another tank and putting them in. Also the LFS told me that there is a type of starfish that will occassionally loose a limb which will grow into another starfish in time, sorry I dont remember the name of it

if you put 3 stars in they will herd them and only eat small parts of each and move to the next while it regrows
