Are you a killer

[Brad Moehl]

I would reather have peaceable inhabitants, my little girls are unhappy when something disappears. They become attached to thigs you know. Thanks for all the help, Ya'll are great

Star fish are a mixed bag. The one thing most share, however, is that they're relatively fragile. In light of your daughters, I'd recommend refraining from trying a starfish until the tank is mature and you have more experience. Most are peaceful, but at the same time they aren't hardy.

Brittle star are the hardiest.

However, the commonly kept large olive green brittle star is a voracious predator, and will eat shrimp and sleeping small fish.

Do you know more specifically what species of star?
