Question
Can a chocolate chip starfish and an anemone be in the same tank?

Answer
Hi Ann. Chocolate chip starfish can be very bad predators. They should not be housed with invertebrates. Sometimes you can get one that seems very peaceful and doesn't bother anything and sometimes they can completely decimate a tank. I do not recommend putting them in with any anemones. They have been known to eat them!
