Radiant Urchin

[AquaJohn]

So I made an impulse buy last weekend at Aquatec.

A radiant urchin fliping amazing red with glowing blue dots. Well I think it made a meal of my sand sifting star . The star has been in there a few months doing its thing and days after thr urchin was added the star was on the glass and missing 2 and 1/2 legs . I duno if the urchin ate it or if it went through my mp40s.

So do urchin eat starfish ?

I don't know if they do, but that would be the slowest deathmatch ever.

I duno that urchin can move and can eat like a horse. I put a good chunk of nori under him and he woofed it down faster than my rotties put down there food.

That is what starfish look like when they are dying. They start to loose legs. I doubt it was the urchin but anything is possible. What size tank is it?

[Timfish]

I've heard of stranger appetites but I'm inclined to agree with Bige.

[AquaJohn]

its a 110 and today the urchin was munching on the rest of it when i got home from work today so that leaves it at the urchin does eat starfish but was the star fish dead and he just made a meal of it.

Guess I will never know becuase I am not going to feed the urchin another $20 meal so until it dies or I decide I want star fish more than the urchin no more star fish for my tank lol.

Be careful, those guys burn like fire if you get stung!

I bought a small tuxedo urchin a couple of weeks ago and my orange serpent star ate him. Go figure.
