Curator's Note
This is a dangerous choice for a reef as it will eat anemones, corals, urchins, shrimp, crabs, fish, and anything else it can catch.
Other Common Names
African Sea Star, Red-knobbed Starfish, African Red General Star
Description
The African Red Knob Starfish is very hardy starfish and makes a great detrivore for fish only aquariums. The African Red Knob Starfish is also good starfish for beginner aquariums because of it’s tolerance to chemistry changes and ability to withstand less than pristine water quality.
Diet
Will gladly eat anything that it’s fellow tankmates will eat. It is fascinating to offer pieces of raw table shrimp and watch it expel it’s stomach onto the glass and consume the shrimp. Will also eat scallop, silversides, clam, mussel, fish flesh, nori, – basically any marine based food.
