Received the starfish in excellent condition. The color is vibrant and it has been active in the tank for two months. It blends well with the coral and doesn’t seem to cause any issues. Very happy with the purchase.

The red-orange hue is stunning. It’s been in my 100-gallon reef tank for three months and remains healthy. No aggression observed. A beautiful addition to the display.

Looks great and matches the description. Slightly smaller than expected at 4.5 inches, but still impressive. It’s active and seems to be adjusting well to the environment.
