Serpent sea star feeding

[rupertk14]

I have had a SSS for two days now and feed it a silverside the first and second night and it took it both times now just fine, but how many times should I feed it?, are there other types of foods it eats?

Mine loves silversides, mysis, and pretty much whatever I put in the tank. They are bottom feeders so you don't have to feed them everyday.

I had a crab trap set up with some squid, and my SSS went into the glass to get the squid. It was very cool to watch, and boy was he fat after that little snack.

Mine gets very active when I feed the tank, so I assume he's eating with everyone else in addition to what he finds in between feedings.

Mine eats flaked food, frozen brine shrimp, chopped fish and shrimp. He scrambles out of his hiding place and grabs what he can. I target feed him too, takes food right out of my hand. Pretty cool critter.

they are scavengers, just let them do their job and they should be fine
