Reef Safe

The Sand Sifting Starfishes are tan colored to help it camouflage into the sand. They burrow down into the sand to feed on large amounts of detritus and uneaten foods. Like other starfishes, they will consume shrimp, urchins, mollusks, and bivalves. With such a big appetite, they can clean aquariums quickly and need to be fed a variety of foods to prevent them from starving.

These inverts are for saltwater aquariums only.
