I like to mix things up a bit and was time for a change. For now I want nice fish and inverts.. I always liked star fish. It is sort of a chocolate chip it is brown with spikes being black at the ends on its body. It is moving faster than I thought it would in my tank.

Only if the fish is already dead.

Ya or severly injured that is what the the puter seems to say. I like my Mister Star Fish. My Finned fish only come out to eat... when they are not hungry they like to hide and they are teaching my newer fish to do the same. That makes them vulnerable to a Star Fish Attack... He moves faster that any star fish I have ever had before

I’m going with no.

I’m going with no.

Those starfish are insane scavenger especially if hungry for months-I say if the opportunity is right they can eat the fish very easily

Seeing him move quickly around my tank I think so as well. Those limbs seem to be rather strong. I payed good money for that Dori fish last June so will make sure he does not get too hungry. I don't really want him to get much bigger than he is. As well my 125 does get to 82f ish during the summer months. too warm for a star fish from my previous experience with a lot smaller ones. I really like the small red ones ... I have a 55g in my basement that I winter my pond gold fish in. Will convert it to a temp marine tank for july aug first week or 2 of sept. along with filtration. If I see it is not working out I will sell to a good home or donate him to a coral reef store.
