The orange finger starfish is a firm favourite among reef keepers as pert of the clean up crew. This particular starfish is completely reef safe and feeds predominantly on microbes it finds in its path, as well as smaller bits of detritus such as uneaten fish food. Additional food can be offered, like nori smaller bits of frozen fish food and pellets. Their colours can vary a great deal, depending on where they originate from.
