Can Chocolate Chip Starfish be cannibals?
Thank you for everything you do for us hobbyists. Many of our aquatic friends would never have made it if it wasn’t for your advice. My question today is in regards to my Chocolate Chip Star Fish. I have a 44 gallon tank that’s been set up for about a year. Up until yesterday I had 2 chocolate chip starfish, 2 percula clownfish, and a cleaner shrimp. My wife and I fondly call our Stars, Chip and X. X being a 4 legged starfish. I cannot find Chip anywhere. I have looked everywhere I know and cannot find him. Both starfish were of about equal size and I have had them for a little over a year. I noticed last night that X was sitting on top of what looked to be white coral sand, but I don’t have any coral sand, just live sand. The Substrate is nowhere near the size of these pieces. Could it be Chips exoskeleton?
