Default Aggressive choc. chip star

We have a chocolate chip star,
That doesn't go very far...
unless I plant a piece of "meat" in his reach.
Then he'll move with a breeze
With the ease of a trapeze,
and suck the life out of it... like a leech.

Ode to my sea egg urchin... I didn't even get to enjoy him for 24 hours, as the choc. chip descended upon him covering that spiney shell as if it were cotton, and sucked the insides out, just leaving us an empty shell.

Ode to my Atlantic star fish... We had a little red starfish that we plucked out of the ocean on one of our fluke fishing trips... we gave it a nice home in our FOWLR tank. I saw the choc. chip chasing it around the tank, and even though I fed the choc. chip, the greedy gut caught up with the 4 inch wide sea star, hovered over top of it and dissolved its whole body before the search and rescue team could arrive.

Ode to our Atlantic Haiten anemone.... Well this guy had it coming. He was the cheap $3.50 variety that is not fish compatible, but instead kept stinging our fish and killing them. I had to do something with him to get him out of the reef tank. So he went into the FOWLR tank and in less time than you can say ..."Compatibility considerations for captive care including corals, crustaceans, and other cute critters" ... he made a delicious meal for the choc. chip.

Do you have a choc. chip star?
What do you keep in the tank with it?
