chocolate chip starfish

I noticed this morning my starfish found a dead fish, and carried it up the glass to munch on it. Unusual?

I think your star fish has been a bad boy. You should mail it to me so my harliquin can take care of it

Im pretty sure chocolate chip stars are predatory creatures... Be very careful he wasnt
The one who killed it!

 

[darkprincess]

No I know it wasn't. It was sick. I died and got lodged between rocks.

 

[Jacobsal91]

Ohh ok. Either way just be careful, some of them can be brutal towards polyps and such. Good luck

Very normal! They'll do damage to coral though!

Yep! It was just taking it to a place where it was comfortable.

He just found a dead fish and is doing his job. A CC stat will not be able to catch a fish.

Good news. Could be worse. I have to buy 1 CC stars every month just about for my harliquin shrimp. My wife just had to have it lol. I didn't realize that's all they eat so when she comes out I know it's time to go get her, her dinner.
