Cushion star, culcita novaeguineae

[titi59]

Hello everyone, this is my bin being launched for a while, I decided to do the tests and there, no chlorine, nitrites or nitrates, so I decided myself to go to my pet and always there I see what a magnificent orange Culcita, and the seller said he has another, a beautiful gray-green to orange and red arms, then obviously I crack, and here I am with Culcita. It is in the tray since yesterday and is doing very well, the seller told me that it was night but the day is very active. I wanted to know if she had any special needs? Is it the food? Give molds or others? Thank you all !

Sounds like an impulse buy :) You may want to research any animals that you want to keep before buying them to ensure their compatibility, what they eat and if you can provide that food. For starters, I would try placing a small piece of shrimp meat and/or clam meat under the starfish and see if it will eat it. If you have any quality live rock, you also stand the chance that this starfish will wipe out a number of other inverts that may be on the rock.

I gave him the mold and she ate. This is not an impulse buy because we had already advised me but as it was a seller I preferred checked here.

Mold? Do you mean algae?

Where did you get it? Is 80 gallons enough for it?
