I just put a harlequin in one of my tanks today. I can't do a chocolate chip star, as it's in a reef tank. I have three tanks with Asterina star fish in them. Question is how many of those does it need to survive?
 
I had two that lived for a year on those little white stars. That was in a 180. The desamated the population. I think there thousands in my tank

So if I were to pick 5 or so out of a second tank a week it would be ok? What happened after 2 years?

I am in love with my new Harlequin shrimp. Any advice?
Stock up on starfish. keep in a 10gal tank or something. I had one for 3yrs. we had a bad heat wave and nothing was getting shipped to LFS. she died hungry id say. there cool critters.
