will a Harlequin eat serpent stars

[scuba guy ron]

I'm beginning to have a problem with asternia stars. I do keep a serpet star. Will the harlequin also go after the Serpent star?

i am going to say yes to that. as far as i know they will eat any kind of star they can get ahold of. there are certain stars they perfer, but if they are not in the tank for them to munch on they will eat what is available.

better safe then sorry if you like having starfish in your tank. i know mine ate my large brittle star i had in the past.
