Starfish Stomach eats cleaner crab - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

Carnivorous stars definitely have voracious appetites. I found my Bahama star munching on one of my octopuses it had apparently trapped in a hole. The octo would take its food into holes to eat. I had seen the starfish try to climb on top of the octopus several times while the octopus was eating. I never would have believe it possible for something as "brainless" as a starfish to kill an octopus.

I was wrong.

Bahama Stars make pretty neat frisbees.

Just kidding. I traded it in at a store. But I wanted to use it as a dog toy.

great shots. Sorry for your loss, but like you said a lesson learned.
