Species level is always pretty challenging with a lot of marine species...I agree some species of Echinaster most likelyLooks like it may be Echinaster luzonicus - pics out of the bag would be helpful though.
Yeah - I'm guessing E. luzonicus because it typically has six arms, they sometimes have the off-color tips (black seems to be the most common different color), and it seems to have a bunch of raised bumps. It's definitely possible it's a different species, it just seems the most likely to me from I can see. Here are some photos to compare against:Species level is always pretty challenging with a lot of marine species...I agree some species of Echinaster most likely
Sorry, I didn’t See your thread. But yeah, I got it and they’ve had it for 3 weeks now. Turns out being a red linckia, acclimated for 3 1/2 hours, doing awesome as of now. Always hangs out on rocks/ glass.Any pic out of the bag? The black tips and slightly course skin are characteristic of Fromia indica but the arm width vs length don't look right for F. Indica. It looks like a challenging species to keep (some say all true starfish are impossible to keep long term though which I disagree with) so don't expect it to be easy if you do get it...ask how long they've had it for. I've seen some Linckia species for example start to disintegrate and die firsthand within days of being in the LFS so if they literally JUST received it, I'd steer clear at least until it's been there a week or so to make sure it can even handle that transition. Btw, you're building an interesting collection after just purchasing that NPS the other day!
Hey, for my nps, I’ll feed it every night time. When lights go out for about 2 hours I’ll give it some frozen food. Nothing crazy yet, I’ve seen the polyps come out sometimes but not like they shouldAny pic out of the bag?
