The **Double Tile Star** is a captivating and unique starfish species. These starfish feature a robust yellow body with five short arms, adorned with a distinctive tile-like pattern that gives them their name. They grow to a maximum size of nearly 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 20 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, **Double Tile Stars** coexist well with other invertebrates, corals, and fish, though they may consume small invertebrates and sponges, so caution is advised when adding them to a reef aquarium.

**Double Tile Stars** thrive in aquariums with abundant live rock, providing them with hiding spots during the day and opportunities to feed on algae and tiny invertebrates during the evening and night. They are highly sensitive to poor water quality and should never be exposed to air. Proper acclimation over approximately two hours is essential. Avoid housing them with aggressive fish that prey on invertebrates, such as triggers or puffers. As omnivores, **Double Tile Stars** benefit from a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. While they obtain most of their nutrition from the tank, supplementing with small foods like mysis, brine shrimp, and high-quality flake and frozen foods is beneficial.
