Hey Forum
Recently I was looking at someone's saltwater aquarium (it was still incomplete), and I noticed that the blue starfish was effectively having it's limb chewed off by a chocolate chip starfish. I thought it would be okay, but eventually the blue star died. The person owning them was apparently not aware that starfish need to be fed (and neither did I until I checked) and I'm wondering if that was what happened, or is it possible there were other issues? He didn't have the starfish for very long though. Maybe only a couple of weeks. Is that enough for the starfish to become hungry enough to try and eat the other? The blue star wasn't even trying to move away though. Not until the chocolate chip was done. Has anyone else experienced this?
