Anyone ever try this? I was thinking of seeding my tank and refugium (biocube 32) with asterina stars. Do they have to eat algae? Or would a few pieces of kelp wafers every couple days do the trick? Could also feed them pellets/flakes/mysis.
Plan would be for the harlequin to mow down the stars in the display, and once a week or so I'd pull a few stars out of the back compartment, which I've turned into a refugium, and put them into the main tank. Chocolate chip stars aren't super common in Canada, especially these days; nor are they particularly cheap (~$20-25 each usually), so I'd much rather have a renewable food source for them.
