Red Biscuit Starfish

Sometimes called Red Sea Stars, these beautiful creatures have a variety of textures depending on the locale. These starfish are one of the more difficult species to successfully keep, as they are particularly sensitive to changes in salinity, pH and temperature. Orange Linckia Starfish can grow up to six inches and should be kept in larger aquariums. These starfish should be introduced to well established saltwater aquariums as they consume sponges and bacterial films.
