Harlequin Shrimp Feeding

[Chaloupa]

For continued feeding what is recommended? Chocolate Chip stars in the sump or? Do Harlequin Shrimp actively hunt and then kill an adult starfish?

They actively hunt for starfish - if you get a pair of them, they'll hunt & make their kill's together.

Fascinating to watch (if you can bare the though of them chomping on a $15 starfish!).

If I worked in a LFS or had access to cheap starfish then I'd just throw one in each week & let them hunt.

Otherwise, I'd use the multiple stars in the sump method or if I couldn't keep all those stars alive then, maybe the freezer method.
