Starfish and urchins add something different to a reef. Our starfish and urchins for sale include sand-sifting stars and serpent stars, which clean up leftovers. There are also urchins, which graze algae from rock and glass.

Caring for starfish and urchins

These animals are very sensitive to changes in salinity. So acclimate them slowly, over an hour or more, using a drip.

Urchins sometimes knock over loose frags as they graze. Glue your corals down well. Starfish do best in mature tanks with plenty of natural food.
