I have one that I have had just about a year.When I first got the star it was missing one of its rays.I asked Dr Ron how long it would take to grow back and he said that the star would be dead of starvation before the ray grew back.Well it has taken nearly a full year but the ray is now just a bit shorter than the 4 he started with and he seems to be healthy.Well as far as I can tell.I have a very active live sand bed.Many worm,pods,and other critters that I have watched over the past year.Their numbers never even come close to being wiped out.My sand bed is about 3 inches deep.As far as supplementing the satr I did notice one strange thing about it.Whenever I scrape the coraline off my glass( I have tons growing ) the star seems to spring into action and always settles on a pile of the scrapings and sinks into the sand bringing the scraps down with him.Im not sure if hes eating it but it sure seems like it.
