The Orange Serpent Starfish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. It has been in my 55-gallon reef tank for three months and remains active and colorful. I appreciate the detailed care instructions included with the package.

It’s a beautiful addition to my aquarium. The orange color stands out well against the coral backdrop. I’ve had to monitor water parameters closely, but it’s worth the effort.

The starfish looks impressive, but it’s not very interactive. I noticed it doesn’t eat much and seems to prefer the edges of the tank. I’m still learning how to best maintain its environment.
