Put this little guy in the refugium so I can hopefully see him sometime. Hope he's hungry and gets to work on my starfish!

thats a cool shrimp. Are your starfish eating coral?

The asterias were fine till the past couple months when they multiplied to the thousands, then they started eating zoas and gsp. I've been picking out 50-100/day and the population is getting better. Hopefully the harlequin will eat them.

Hope it eats your stars for you.
When I had a pair they wouldn't touch them and after reading up I found that they prefer large soft tissue stars not mini stars or the hard brittle stars.
I tried to find the post and article but it's been a couple years.
