Hand-collected by our team in the Florida Keys, the Common Starfish is a hardy and peaceful species that brings natural beauty and movement to your reef aquarium. Native to shallow Caribbean and Florida waters, it grazes on biofilm and detritus across rock and sand, helping maintain a healthy environment.
