Hawaiian lace sea star

[mcphock]

I purchased a Hawaiian Lace sea star 6-7 months back. They're definitely 100% reef safe, but I have not been able to find anything</em> that this guy will eat. He wont touch meaty foods, nor algae preparations. It looks like his strength is starting to fade, so I need to figure out what to feed him.

I know a few of you ARC'ers purchased this same species. Have you guys had any luck getting them to feed? Please, someone help me!!

Maybe try finding some fresh sponges from a LFS....might even be able to get them to let you scrape them off some of their LR....if you could maybe start propogated sponges in your tank that may help.....

+1. You can partially unthaw the gel based cubes and stick them to the glass at night for it. Daytime the cube would be a gonner. Everything enjoys it in my tank
