The starfish arrived healthy and vibrant. Its color is exactly as described—rich red orange. It has been in my 100-gallon tank for two months and is active and calm. No aggression or issues with other corals. A beautiful addition to the reef.

Great quality and color. It’s a standout in my tank. The five arms are well-defined and it moves naturally. I appreciate the A-grade condition. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

It looks stunning and has adapted well to the tank. A bit smaller than expected at 4.75 inches, but still impressive. No signs of stress or damage. Would recommend to reef keepers looking for a colorful, calm species.
