Orange sea star

[AydenLincoln]

My nano is a RS Max Nano so total volume is 20g, my dimensions are 18”x15”x18”. I have the issue of a Griessingeri goby which is a slower moving fish and only around 1 inch.

I have a 20 gallon too and I just got my West African Biscuit Starfish. I’ll be posting updates on here about how he’s doing.

Do you have any other stars?
I assume the top photo was in the LFS?

Both pictures are in my tank, I have had the red one for about a year prior to the orange biscuit. Red star is still going strong.

Glad to hear the red one is still ok...do you ever spot feed him?

Might be a good idea since it's only a 20 gallon tank...mine'll go for pretty much any meaty food I give him...he's been eating an oyster for the past 24 hours or so

Oh it was @i cant think that said he has a 20 gallon...thought that was you! Still probably a good idea though if the other star went through your live rock and sponges so quickly...it's hard to know if they're able to find enough food if you're not spot feeding them or have a really big tank and once they show negative signs they're usually done for within a few days and not a lot you can do at that point
