Harlequin shrimp

[Kayvaughn]

I am in love with my new Harlequin shrimp. Any advice?

I don't have any advice as I just got 2 of them on friday. Each one already lost one big pincher. I hope they make it cause I have been noticing more and more asterina stars that I want gone. So I'm also watching this thread. Thanks

Mine loves chocolate chip stars I used to cut off legs but now just drop a whole one in its amazing they can somehow smell it as soon as it hits the water and come running

Just got one today!! I'm so excited about it. I noticed A LOT of asterina stars and decided eh, why not? I'm hoping it's a decent forager.

Feed star fish otherwise they won't survive

The Harley is a voracious eater I'm almost positive you don't have enough asterina stars to keep it alive mine would eat a whole cc star leg in a few days

I kept a pair for 2 years. They also liked chocolate chips:) They do need to be feed additional star fish to survive.

They are so cool, I had a pair for about a year. I fed them chocolate chip starfish legs every week, they recently killed each other though :(

Mine is already on it! Stoked!

I feed her a partial leg from a chocolate chip starfish. She perched herself on it and didn't move until most of it had been eaten.

Anybody got the Hawaiian ones? :) love to see some pics

I'm not sure, they seemed to get along just fine and she was carrying eggs at one time. Then months later I noticed they started fighting a little and maybe 2 or 3 weeks later 1 was missing and the other one was missing some limbs and I never seem them after that. :(
But I still love harlequins!

So gorgeous! I want a Hawaiian one pretty badly. Been pestering my LFS for a few about it.

Ask people for the little white star fish that over come some tanks. I had 2 in a 180 that lived for 2 years on those little star fish. I had thousands of star fish
