Description
The Icon (Double) Starfish is a fascinating and visually unique starfish known for its striking pattern of yellow, brown, and black markings. This starfish is named “Double” due to the appearance of its arms, which feature a distinctively angular and patterned design, adding an interesting aesthetic to marine aquariums. With its peaceful nature, it makes a great addition to a reef setup where it coexists well with other tank mates.
The Icon Starfish is an omnivore and will scavenge the tank, feeding on detritus, algae, and leftover food, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the aquarium. It benefits from supplemental feedings of small meaty foods or algae wafers to ensure its nutritional needs are met.
This starfish requires stable water conditions and a well-established aquarium with ample live rock to forage. It is moderately hardy but can be sensitive to sudden changes in water quality. Care should be taken to avoid exposing it to air, as this can lead to potential health issues. The Icon Starfish is suitable for intermediate aquarists who can provide a stable, peaceful environment.
