Starfish for Sale

Starfish can be a unique addition to the well-established marine aquarium with appropriate water parameters. Although temperament, diet and compatibility will vary according to species, most are peaceful, although opportunistic carnivores and can usually be housed with most peaceful fish. Slow-moving or small fish and other invertebrates may risk falling prey to some species of starfish.

Most starfish are quite elusive and between hiding in rocks or burying in sand, you may not see more than a leg at a time. These animals are incredibly sensitive to water changes, and poor quality, so care must be taken with proper maintenance and testing of water. Drip acclimating is recommended when adding a new starfish to your aquarium or any time you are relocating one to a different setup. Copper based medications must be avoided as these are toxic to starfish.
