It’s gonna eat the starfish and the circle will be complete!

Chocolate chip stars are carnivores, so yep urchin is dinner.

Choco star doing what a Choco star does. Eat everything. They are the absolute worst star for a reef tank yet ppl continue buying them lol

I know. I've neglected those things far too long. I don't have any coral but I was finally told they are bad news. Actually got Aptasia-X today

Thanks. What other invertebrates will they eat? Also, I'm kinda glad. The urchin was cool but I tried my first coral a few months ago and he ate them. I saw it myself. My store couldn't believe it. So I'm glad he's gone. I really want to try the coral thing

The chocolate chip starfish will eat coral as well.

Be nicer if you could find the unwanted urchin a home. I give away fish that turn out to be mistakes. Gotta try and be mindful of the creatures we dump in there.

That was my plan but it looks like I'm a little late

In all reality, this is no different than the people who buy star fish to feed their shrimp. The exception is they intentionally do it, and you didn't.

You can remove the starfish off of the sea urchin and place the starfish on top of a piece of folded nori

When you want to buy something at your LFS just quickly tell them what is in your tank and they should advise you if your newly possible purchase would be a menace on your tank or just a expensive dinner.

Urchin will also eat your coralline algae off your LR....
