The Florida Orange Starfish is a striking addition to my tank. It moves gracefully and looks vibrant in the water. I love how it blends with the natural look of my reef setup. It’s been active for over two months and shows no signs of stress.

Beautiful color and texture. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t interfere with other tank inhabitants. I noticed it grazing on the biofilm on the rocks, which is a nice natural behavior.

Arrived healthy and looked exactly as described. The orange color is vivid and the spines are well-defined. It’s become a centerpiece in my tank and draws attention every time it moves.
