I got them today and these guys are really cool!! Perching in the front so far. I know they eat sea stars
Can I feed them a chocolate sea star or is it small asteria stars?
Do they regrow there claws one lost its claw during acclimation?

Bumblebees need between 5 and 10 to do well. One just does not last long, which, unfortunately, is the only amount of stock my petco ever seems to get off them.

They take the starfish apart, especially the little ones. They're better than a harlequin because they don't have to eat starfish only. You can get away with meaty food scavenging if you run out of stars. But in order to take care of stars, they have to work as a team.

That's what I thought I got a couple of them. Guess I got lucky.
