I finally worked up the balls to cut one of my starfish in half, I researched it for weeks and was extremely interested in doing it.... I'll post pics soon and allow the regrowing process. but so far so good. both halves are running around no problem..

I cut my Chocolate starfish (it might be a different kind.. cuz it's like a blueish gray) in 2... one piece is 3 legs and one is 2... i made absolute sure to include part of the mouth in each end and quarrentined it for a few hours to let it relax and rest..

Hopefully I'm not a jerk, and i did it right.... but the outcome should be 2 healthy starfish.. I'm aware it will proly take a few months for it to star growing and looking normal again..

I will update this as time goes on and if i master it, then I am awesome hahaha

interesting. Any pics?

ouch! but sounds soooo cool at ther same time

wow, I probably could not have done it!
I am very very interested to see how it goes! Any chance of weekly pics of the regrowth?

yeah i got pics... and they are technically not "alive" like in the sense you might think they are, so it's doesn't hurt them... it mainly pisses them off, more than anything..

here he is in the holding tank.

after the cut.

after resting for few hours.

the inside of the starfish.

back inside the tank.... he didn't, oops i mean, THEY didn't stay that way for long... both side begun moving around are are lookin good....

Am I retarded or what? lol, we'll see

lol wow i would never be able to do that!!!

to be honest, i realize it was a death sentence, but i personally wanted to try it... I am not irresponsible, i researched it to the MAX!

That's wild... keep us updated with pics!

Wow if it works great .... go pick up some harliquin shrimp beautiful shrimp that only eat starfish ....

If its successful and well documented it can be a library entry!
But I wont move it till you end up with 2 proper starfish
