If that is a starfish I am reading about them today some will eat one another if they do not have available food

Wild last thing I expected.

Mine used to always do that!

Needless to say, as post above, they both died of starvation (slowly decayed away till I removed them)

I've never kept a sand sifting starfish because pretty much everything I've read says they perish in most home aquariums. I wonder if the bottom one is dead and the one in top feeding on it?

I dont think they are necessarily eating each other - Mine used to do this for years before they perished.

I think mine just didnt have enough food once they were moved into my new tank.

I read that some do but it did not mention sans sifters. The brittle, or spiny I forget which will eat itself ohhhh?

I learned this after watching a video about dealing with algae by Rich Ross a member here and is on you tube. Started looking at inverts to add to the tank since I don't like chemical warfare. That's some of the things I found out
