In addition to puffers! I absolutely adore my starfish! Meet Cookie my second West African Biscuit/Goniaster Tessellatus.

Sweet! Personally I'll always be in love with Fromias haha...I loved the challenge and doing what everyone told me was impossible. I have a love for all echinoderms honestly.

Hi @AydenLincoln, I just got one of these beautiful starfish. How do you feel him the algae pellets, shrimp and clam please! Is the pic an algae pellet squashed onto the glass for him? Therefore he is an omnivore?

Yes but it’s actually a Masstick pellet.

Thanks so much! I have so far fed him some scallop but nothing further. Seems to be eating algae off glass and digesting things on the sand!

That is a good looking starfish! I hardly ever see mine. Just their arms. This was when i did a tank move.

@AydenLincoln I notice on your new cookie that instead of spikes he has some white flat circles in at least one spot. Mine has the same. Any thoughts on what this is?

It’s places the spikes have fallen off usually due to stress from shipping or acclimation. Photo? https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/starfish-fact.926698/

I was looking up some info on this starfish. Do you still have this one? Does Hewbie play nice with it?

Do you have any advice keeping this starfish? I was hoping to pick up a few myself.
