Notes: A good choice for a peaceful community aquarium, but not for a reef aquarium. The African Starfish may eat corals, clams, sponges, anemones and ornamental invertebrates.

Maintain stable pH and specific gravity levels to keep this starfish healthy. Sudden changes in water parameters can cause bacterial infections that may cause necrosis of its arms, or even death.

Offer it chopped meaty foods once a week.
