Basket Starfish are one of those items that you only see in specialized tank setups like at local public aquariums most of the time. I was curious to see if anyone on here had experience keeping one, and if so how long did they have it, what kind of setup did you keep it in, and what did you feed it on a regular basis?
 
I’m curious as well. The Steinhart has had some success with crinoids last I heard, but I would be very interested if anybody here has tried. They’re ecologically similar to basket stars to my understanding. I know some species of basket stars do accept larger food items as well
