Sand Sifting Starfish

The Sand Sifting Starfish (Astropecten polyacanthus), also known as the Comb Starfish, White Starfish, and Sand Starfish, hails from the sandy seabeds of the Indo-Pacific and is celebrated for its remarkable sand-cleaning abilities in home aquariums. With a beige/brown body blending seamlessly into the sand, it ensures a pristine substrate while being reef safe and compatible with a variety of tank mates, excluding puffers. Typically reaching sizes of 4 to 6 inches in diameter and boasting a lifespan of several years under proper care, this delicate species requires a tank with plenty of sand, stable salinity, and should never be exposed to open air. Saltwaterfish.com offers ethically sourced specimens, ensuring a premium addition to your marine environment, where the Sand Sifting Starfish becomes an essential component of maintaining ecosystem harmony and showcasing the ocean's marvels.
