Received the starfish in good condition. It’s active and stays calm in the tank. Perfect for a beginner reef setup. Easy to care for and doesn’t stress the corals.
Yvonne Wilkins –
The starfish looks healthy and has adapted well to the 50-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t interfere with the coral growth. Slightly smaller than expected, but still impressive.

Great addition to my reef tank. It’s easy to maintain and doesn’t cause any issues with the other inhabitants. Very happy with the purchase.
