The Southern Biscuit Starfish is a glowing bright red/orange starfish with distinctive polygon shapes across its back. The Southern Biscuit Starfish will scavenge the floor for meaty foods including sponges and some algae.
This species of starfish is especially susceptible to changes in water quality and will adversely react if this is done. The Southern Biscuit Starfish will also be a beneficial member of your aquarium keeping it clean by feeding on algae.
The Southern Biscuit 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 Starfish 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 small pieces of shrimp, mussel, or flaked food.
