I usually fed mine every 2 weeks ( 1 week to eat the star week rest and then add another one. I know some people would buy several stars and keep them in thier sumps. They would cut one leg off and alternate between the stars to allow them to regenerate, but I couldn't do that so I just fed mine every 2 weeks.

ok thank you... Its a really big sand sifter and they were going at it all night and they just have a little piece off the tip of its arm. They are very cool shrimp. Very happy with the buy.

I feed mine about a week or so after the old one is gone. I used to let them eat an arm and then take it away, and put in in the sump, but they've caught on and drag it down a hole now!
