Hey guys I was at Aquarium enthusiasts they other day and I seen these cool loking shrimp and then they told me what they were I looked them up and they are pretty cool if I may say so my self the only bad part is that they eat live starfish (they prefer choclate chip stars the best) but they ony eat one around every six weeks or so.

Here is a pic of one all flared up

Yup, if you have lotsa Asterinas, they eat them, when the stars run out, the Shrimp dies. Sooo cool looking though.

Saw a few at Gold this weekend....very cool looking, but I don't think I could watch the starfish slowly eaten alive week after week!

I have to feed mine every week. All I do is put a bunch of chocolate chips in my sump, and every week i cut off a peice of the arm. Just rotate the stars you cut the leg of and by the time you need to use that star the legs have grown back. Easy as pie no one dies. One of my favorite pets.
