starfish

red starfishI have two starfish in my marine tank. They do a great job of cleaning up. The sand sifter (Astropecten polycanthus) is the pale one and is usually hidden under the sand. The bright red one (Fromia milleporella) crawls all over the rock and glass.

Thanks!

The tank is a 92 gallon corner tank. I have a little refugium and a big Eheim underneath. Its a great system.
