Biscuit starfish

[rraines]

Looking into different starfish species for my tank and was wondering if anyone knew of any reliable websites to look into biscuit sea stars?️

Love my biscuit sea star, although I have caught him munching on my blastos. I have for about a year now and he is an awesome addition eventhough he nibbles at some of my coral. I’m cool with that

Where’d you get him?

I’ve tried them twice, both times dead almost immediately. The first one I bought at reefapalooza NYC 2024 and lasted a few hours. The second I got at a frag swap in early 2025 and tried a much longer drip acclimation that was recommended by the seller. It lasted about 2 days. My wife won’t let me get another, but they sure are beautiful.

Also my LFS gets them occasionally. I don’t think they’re super rare, but I see them more in the summer. Go for close to $100 in NJ.

NYAquatics had them frequently and I think @AydenLincoln had long term success with them.
