You need to supplement thier diet, asterinas are like potato chips, they need chocolates or other for real food. They will also destroy a starfish population, Id say mine have eaten well over 300 in about 2 months, and thats with a choc every other week or so. Even the largest asterinas, about the size of a pea, little bigger, will be finished within an hr or so.

I saw three Harlequins today at Absolutely Fish in Clifton, NJ.

I use Naroda Starfish for Asterina control. They go for $20-25 if you can find them.

I guess I'll go check out AF. I didn't know Harlequin shrimps were s voracious. I have a lot of asterina star fish in my tank, but now really have to think about it after Audi0s' comment.

I've had two Harlequin's for over a year, they started in my 155 and moved to my 180 when I upgraded. I do not supplement, and they're growing and thriving.
