Description
The Pink and Red Tile Star (Fromia spp.) is a stunning marine invertebrate recognized for its beautiful coloration and unique tile-like appearance. With a vibrant pink body adorned with red or orange spots, this starfish is a striking addition to any reef aquarium, providing both aesthetic appeal and interest.
This species is known for its peaceful temperament, making it an excellent choice for community tanks. It is generally compatible with a variety of fish and invertebrates and does not pose any harm to corals or other tank inhabitants.
As an omnivore, the Pink and Red Tile Star primarily feeds on detritus, algae, and microorganisms found in the substrate. In captivity, it is crucial to provide a varied diet, including high-quality marine pellets, frozen food, and other nutritious options to maintain its health and well-being.
For optimal care, this starfish prefers stable water conditions and should be housed in a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. Providing a well-structured environment with ample hiding places will allow the Pink and Red Tile Star to thrive and exhibit its natural behaviors.
