Question
hello, i have had a choc chip sea star for 2 months now,he is 2 1/2 inches. I feed the sea star freeze dried krill. i want to get a invert the inverts i like are bubble, condy or long tentacle anemone, long spine sea urchin, feather duster emerald or sally light foot crab.my star sea's mouth is dime size. also will my other fish have a problem with those inverts( pajama cardinal, yellowtail damsel, 6 line wrasse, firefish).thanks

PS my tank has clean water

Answer
Your wrasse is going to kill your inverts eventually.  It is his lifestyle to kill inverts.  It's instinctive. I love 6 lines.  But, sadly, I have shrimp, and other inverts, so I don't keep one.

When I did...I lost all my hermit crabs.

The chocolate chip starfish is a predatory starfish and he will eventually kill your fishes.

I hope this helps.

Happy reef-keeping.
