Hey Jesus you must have a lot of time on you hands locating and traveling to buy starfish and let's not forget the $!!! I want you to adopt me
All kidding aside they are beautiful.Goodluck with them.
I had one a while back but it died.At first I would buy 1 starfish at a time.I then would buy as many as I would find in order to always have one on hand keeping them in my qt.I was up to 10 starfish when it died.I sold the starfish when it died.Too bad I didn't know you then.

Or would it be to much of a pain to feed them?

 

[mattkd5]

Anybody have experience in breeding Sea Bats? Its a type of starfish, supposedly breeds easy and is accepted by the harley shrimp. I just read about it here:

Hmm just wondering if the CC stars will grow back lost appendages like other starfish.
Couldn't you just "amputate" a leg off the starfish, to feed the harleys, and wait for the leg to grow back for another feeding?

Anybody had any experiance with:
Bumble Bee Shrimp?
They are related to the harlequin,but will eat frozen foods, so ive been told.

They regrow too slow to feed Harlequins exclusively using this method.

This is correct Deanos.....

I feed my Harley's once a month and my LFS is now providing me with the stars monthly.....I dont think its that expensive to keep. They are very pretty and interesting animals....

In a 34 sure u can keep them....
