Characterized by its chunky arms, often in shades of tan or brown, with distinctive golden or peach-colored tips, this sea star adds a unique touch to a mature reef aquarium. They are slow-moving scavengers, grazing on detritus and biofilm found on live rock and substrate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intermediate. The Goldtip Starfish requires a stable, mature reef aquarium and is sensitive to changes in water parameters. They are generally peaceful but can opportunistically consume small sessile invertebrates if underfed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum tank size of 300 litres (75 gallons) is recommended for this species. Maintain stable salinity (1.023-1.026), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and temperatures between 24-28\u00b0C (75-82\u00b0F). Pristine water quality with zero ammonia and nitrites is crucial.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Omnivorous scavengers, they primarily feed on detritus, biofilm, and algae. Supplement their diet with small pieces of meaty foods such as shrimp, clam, or fish, and specialized starfish diets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are dedicated to providing healthy, robust marine life.
