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

Reaching up to 6 inches in size, the Red Feather Starfish thrives in aquariums of at least 55 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, these invertebrates coexist harmoniously with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them an excellent choice for reef tanks.

However, caring for the Red Feather Starfish is challenging and best suited for expert aquarists or those with prior experience. Avoid housing them with aggressive fish like triggers or puffers, which may harm them.

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