Harlequin Shrimp

[I am a giraffe]

Has anyone sucessfully kept a harlequin shrimp for a decent amount of time? What kind of starfish did you get them to eat?

I give mine a chocolate chip star once a month or so. In between, it seems to stay happy with the mini-stars found throughout the tank. It really loves the linckia stars but the chocolates are cheaper.

Very cool shrimp.

I've always seen them in pictures, and just the other day saw one live in a tank. Probably the most incredible thing I've seen in a reef tank. Any conflict issues with other inhabitants?

Not that I know of. You could have a problem with another fish eating it I guess. I've not had that problem. All of mine tend to leave it alone.
