The Icon Starfish has five thin, tapering, flattened arms. It grows to a diameter of about 30 centimetres with a central disc about 10 cm across. It has a marginal row of large plates that resemble mosaic tiles and contrast in colour with the disc.
It is found over sandy substrates, on rocks, and sometimes climbing among corals and other invertebrates. It is constantly foraging for micro-organisms and detritus to eat, so the aquarium should have ample amounts of live rock.
The Icon Starfish is very intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. The drip acclimation method is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability to changes in water chemistry. It should never be exposed to air while handling.
It is recommended to supplement its diet with algae wafers or pellets if enough algae is not present in the aquarium.
