The big ones are Iconaster and the little ones are Fromia. The diets of both are unknown. Iconaster is believed to feed on benthic invertebrates, but that's a pretty broad category and how specific they are within that group is unknown. Fromia is believed to feed on organic films that form on solid surfaces. Both are usually doomed in the hobby since they typically don't take to target feeding and don't seem to find enough of whatever it is they eat in our tanks. Iconaster is also listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, so there's yet another reason not to support their collection for the trade.
