Red Starfish
Does anybody know where I can pick up a red starfish
(Fromia Elegans). Most of my usual online choices do not carry this starfish. I have tried Pet Warehouse, Jeff's Exotic Fish, FF Express, and Inland Aquatics. Please help me out! Sker |

Speaking of Fromia elegans, Susan just posted a pic of her 20-gal tank with two very nice specimens -- http://www.reefland.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/009119.html

Yes, they are reef-safe. Fromia indica is another species of red starfish. As a general rule, all of the Fromia spp. and the Linckia spp. are reef-safe, feeding on detritus, surface microbes, and surface algal films. One of the nice things about Fromia elegans is that it doesn't get much larger than 3"... also, it is more likely to be seen in the daytime in your tank than Linckia laevigata, which is naturally nocturnal.
