Starcatchers were very Crustacean-like in the original version of Insaniquarium In the Deluxe version, they are more ambiguous and soft-looking, and lean more towards the appearance of a cepholopod, such as an octopus.After a starcatcher is fed three times, only then will it toss up a blue shell. Brinkley and Cookie can be used to feed starcatchers in screensaver mode. However, starcatchers need manual feeding through the use of the 'Feed' button because star guppies are not available in Virtual Tank. In Virtual Tank Mode, starcatchers cost 2,500 shells in The Fish Emporium. They cost $750, and, upon eating a star, toss a diamond upwards. Starcatchers eat stars, which are produced by star guppies. Starcatchers are fish first available in Tank 2 of Adventure Mode, Time Trial Mode, and Challenge Mode.
