Hello,
I just want to ask, can a sick starfish infect other fish with its disease? So i have two separate tanks, a 10gal with a harlequin shrimp and a new 50 gal with 1 clownfish and 4 green chromis, and i decided that i want to put down the 10 gal and re-house my harlequim shrimp. So I am asking the question since i dont have spare time to "QT" a new starfish since it is just going to be my shrimp's food. Any opinions?
thank you :)

Since the starfish has already been in your tanks for awhile, pretty sure your safe.

No what i mean is, once the shrimp has eaten the whole starfish then it is time to purchase a new one
