Ok guys, I finally decided it was time to pull the trigger and get my feet wet after all the seemingly endless feeling research I've been scouring many resources for. For an observational study I got 3 individual species of Fromia (F. indica, F. milliporella, F. pacifica). Their acclimation process has been completed and are now being held in a very temporary tank while the main observation tank continues to be put together over the next few days at which point they'll be transferred to it which I will attempt to design as naturally as possible so my observations may be more useful in future experiments/studies. At least daily, close observations based on certain criteria will be recorded along with any other noteworthy data. They are of course still adjusting to the new tank which was of different salinity that I had to try to acclimate them to and I'm sure many other parameters differed as well so I wouldn't be surprised if they needed a day or two to show what will be considered natural activity for captive starfish. However, it appears Fromia indica adapts much easier as he immediately began to try to feed when placed in the temporary tank right after acclimation. However, it's far too early to make come to a conclusion such as this. Their colors are much more vivid than you can tell in the pictures so I'll try to take better pics under different light. Time to grab my notebook and record a few first day observations....
