Description:The Fromia is also called the Marble Sea Star, or Marble Starfish. Their patterns and colors make them one of the most striking . Coloration of the Assorted Marble Sea Stars range from a deep red to orange, and both the central disc and the arms are mottled in a lighter coloration to cream, giving them a marbled look. Found over sandy substrates, on rocks, and sometimes climbing among corals and other invertebrates, they are constantly foraging for micro-organisms and detritus to eat, so the aquarium should have ample amounts of live rock. Fromia's generally lives alone, but if the aquarium is large enough to support more than one, it will tolerate others of its own species. 
Notes: Starfish are intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. Extra care and time should be taken whenever acclimating this animal.The drip acclimation method is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability to changes in water chemistry.
