Things You'll Need
- Hemostats
- Various chopped seafood
Instructions
Identify what kind of starfish you have. If you don't know the species you own, look online, in reference books or ask at your local aquarium supply shop.
Determine what your starfish eats. Some small varieties eat naturally occurring plant life from your aquarium, such as algae, but some are carnivorous or omnivorous.
Pick up a chunk of chopped seafood with some hemostats, or long-handled tweezers. Suitable seafood to use includes prawns, cockles, mussels and squid.
Place the chopped seafood near your starfish. It will soon move on top of the chunk and digest it. The amount you feed will depend on the species you have. Once you know the species, this information is readily available in books and online.
