Keeping a starfish

[Perthegallon]

Can I keep my starfish in a acclimation box and just feed him ever couple days?

That appears to be Echinaster echinophorus, a predatory seastar that is not suited to reef tanks, as they will consume invertebrates and some corals and anemones. Where did you get that? It doesn't seem you did much research on this. Was it an impulse buy? For now, you can absolutely keep it in the acclimation box, it should do fine until you can figure out what to do with it.

I think you should find another home for it. I'm sure even starfish don't want to be kept in such a small container

Your exactly right I was miss lead by my fish store and told it’d be safe in my tank and they’d never had a problem with them eating there corals
