Feather Starfish - Lamprometra sp.

The Feather Starfish is a fascinating and distinctive marine creature. It features five elongated arms extending from its central body, adorned with fringes that aid in swimming. These arms also help the Feather Starfish anchor itself to rocks.

Reaching up to 6 inches in size, the Feather Starfish thrives in aquariums of at least 25 gallons. Known for its peaceful nature, it coexists harmoniously with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making it an excellent addition to reef tanks.

Caring for the Feather Starfish is challenging and best suited for experienced aquarists. Avoid housing it with aggressive fish like triggers or puffers, which may harm it.

The Feather Starfish feeds by filtering the water column and consuming tiny meaty invertebrates found on rocks and substrates. Supplement its diet with small meaty foods like baby brine shrimp or plankton, or place it on fresh seafood pieces.
