Starfish and urchin?

[Kapachuka3]

I currently have a pencil urchin and i was thinking about getting a chocolate chip starfish. I know they dont do good in awariums but i am going to try and keep it for a long time. Would they eat eachother ive heard of that happening.

I don't know about that, but I do know that chocolate chips are very difficult to keep alive. I had one years ago in a FOWLR tank and it did not live long at all.

I haven't had much luck with starfish but my urchins (2 x tuxedo and a few others) thrive and are algae eating machines (not to mention comics as they pick up all kinds of debrit and even some zoa's to ride on their backs).

LOL yea my tuxedo is constantly wearing small snails! I really want to get it some hats! The other day I came home and it was tucked up under one of my mushroom corals! Guess he was trying to wear that!
