Will he eat my starfish?

[zoalover34]

i really want this butterfly but i was reading at Liveaquaria that in the wild they eat crustations.. Auriga Butterflyfish .. i want something bright yellow to add some color to my tank but i don't want anything that's gonna kill my other creatures i have ya know? does anyone have one of these with starfish? maybe ill wait untill i have like 10-15 starfish and know they are producing fast enough so i won't notice if a few are gone lol. any info on the fish would be great! thanks

They feed on corals. Other than that restriction, they are reef-safe.

Yep, aurigas are ok with our cleaning crustaceans, but as kevin said will eat corals and also featherdusters.

Your xeina will be gone in a day. They are pretty hit or miss on what corals they eat, and featherdusters are doomed. Pretty and hardy tho.

Jim, if you want something bright and yellow why don't you try a foxface rabbitfish?
