basket starfish

[Still_human]

someone ordered me a basket star instead of a feather star, and i THOUGHT their care was pretty much the same as feather stars, but it snatched a full krill i had put in for the hermits to eat, and seems to be gnawing on it! do they eat/feed off of large things? seeing it with the krill makes me worry that it might even catch live little fish! i want, and plan, once my other problem is solved, on having a tank full of little gobies and such, so i don’t want something ELSE snatching up all my fish!
