I keep a pair of Chocolate Chip Starfish in my 75 gal tank, and am thinking of getting some Condylactis anemones to spice up the decor.
Does anyone know if starfish and anemones will eat each other?
 
Due to the size that these grow too ( about 6 inches, and fast growers ) i would suggest only one. They are quite predacious and will only really go for sessile inverts which it can sneak up on. Most times, these do need to be hand fed and provided a strict regular diet else suffer a slow starvation..
 
I am well aware that the stars like to eat things, especially coral, so I keep no coral in my tank. I've had the stars for a few years now, and I've never had problems with feeding them.
But can you have starfish and large anemones in the same tank?
 
it couldnt hurt to try. Condys are cheap anyhow and so are chocolate chips. i think the condy might get eaten though.
