I was thinking of getting one of these for my tanks,does,anyone know what kind of fish not to have that would kill it.I also have 3 hermit crabs and 2 shrimos and 2 purple tip anemones.
 
Most fish will be fine... Stay away from harlequin shrimp and some triggers may nip at them
 
They're great starfish really cool to have my little sisters love looking at it I personally never had any problems with fish and this starfish they're great creatures though
 
When you get it they tend to stay on the glass well mine does at least but if you have rock stacked and there's a small gap it'll try to get through it mine got stuck once so just watch that kind of stuff
 
Our hermit crab didn't do well with the star fish, he eventually killed them.

It was probably just cleaning up a dying starfish. Chocolate chip will eat coral so if you do want a reef eventually you will need to rehome it. Otherwise they are pretty easy to care for.
