Protoreaster Linckii with sea horse ?

Hi ! This star is compatible to seahorse tank ?
Thanks

 

[namxas]

nope, not compatible. most sea stars are not...

 

[auggusttt]

Why ? This star eat seahorse ?

My concern would be that that the star pictured (a carnivore) would disrupt the seahorses by commandeering the seahorses' feeding dish, perhaps even scaring the seahorses from using the dish in the immediate future. It isn't outside the realm of possibility that the star would prey on some of its tankmates, as well.

Sorry I don´t understand. Only to assure me that it them should be horse feed, there is no another risk?
I try and if it them is horse they do not feed I remove it?

thanks

yes, as are most sea stars, however, red knobbies and choc. chips are among the worst. there have been several instances of them consuming a sleeping SH.
