Where did you get him? I want one to eradicate my astarina
This picture was from the LFS. The pair was $99 at Aquatic Obsessions.

I picked one up from the Pine Brook shop. $40. Usually $40-$50, so 2 for $100- sounds about right.
I started him off in my frag tank to wait for a good moment to acclimate him to the display. Didnt want my HUGE Coral Banded Shrimp to snack on him.
Sadly, KINDA, my CBS passed. Probably old age, 3+. Guy was HUGE. Talk about menacing!
Saw him drag helpless snails and crabs into his den like the werewolf dragging Ron Weasley in Harry Potter.
Anyway- Funny. I added him 2 nights back. ALL the starfish run for the sky!
Since I do still have them in the frag tank, he wont starve anytime soon.
As he cleans up the display, I can drop some in from the frag tank, or simply get a chocolate chip and chop off small portions of the foot weekly, while keeping the starfish alive.
Sounds mean, but after he does his duty I usually donate to someone who wants them and they heal back..

I think that’s a really good price, they usually charge more for bonded pairs.
