Sand
Cleaning Sea Star

This
peaceful omnivore will effectively clean even the largest home
aquarium of detritus and left over food.
Description: The Sand Sifting Sea Star efficiently
consumes mass amounts of detritus and uneaten food. A great addition
to any reef tank, this nocturnally active sea star will move
large amounts of sand as it burrows into the substrate in its
search for food. Since it is slower moving than most fish, the
Sand Sifting Sea Star should not be housed with natural predators,
including Puffers. Like other invertebrates, the Sand Sifting
Sea Star is very intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels,
salinity, and pH and cannot tolerate copper-based medications.
To successfully acclimate new specimens to your aquarium, use
the drip acclimation method and never expose the Sand Sifting
Sea Star to air while handling.
Diet and
Feeding:The Sand Sifting
Sea Star should be actively fed a variety of fish foods into
the sand. Otherwise, this voracious feeder will quickly clean
your aquarium of detritus and left over food, and then starve,
and eventually begin to decay.
Notes: Starfish are intolerant of sudden changes
in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate
copper-based medications. Extra care and time should be taken
whenever acclimating this animal.The drip acclimation method
is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability
to changes in water chemistry. Starfish must never receive exposure
to air during acclimation.
