Chocolate Chip Starfish

Chocolate Chip Starfish, Protoreaster nodosus, is found on several of the reefs scattered throughout the Indo-Pacific region. More appropriately known as a sea star, this echinoderm makes an exciting addition to the fish only aquarium. Known for their hardiness and being incredibly active, it is no wonder that they are so popular in marine aquariums. Chocolate chip stars are often seen on the aquarium glass in search of their next meal. This star will also eat many types of corals and is not recommended for reef aquariums. In the home aquarium you can place small bits of fish or shrimp near the star to "hand" feed it.
