mtrush98,
I have a chocolate chip star and find his behavior fairly interesting. It is somewhat subtle but I think the small movements are very interesting. They are also fairly hardy and can take some water parameter changes a little better than some other stars. The one down side to the chocolate chip is they are aggressive to corals and th e like. I do not plan on corals so that was not a big concern. When I purchased mine they thought it would be fine with an anemone but it was not. I found the star fish covering it and the anemone all but dead. After repositioning etc. the star fish found the anemone again and finished it off.
