They must be low maintance, cuz I saw one at my local chain pet market, and the star was alive for 2 month when someone bought him.

theres some info. They just eat plankton like you said. They are in the same genus as the serpent star. If you want to buy one........theres one for 12 bucks from taveneir florida........right in the Florida keys about three islands in. Its pretty nice living 6 hours away. :)
