They live in shallow tidal pools and reefs up to. Class: Asteroidea, (starfish) Order: Forcipulatida, (sea stars) Family: Asteriidae, (sea stars) Genus: Pycnopodia, (starfish genus) Species: P. Starfish can be found in warm areas of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Class: Asteroidea Order: Valvatida Family: Oreasteridae Genus: Protoreaster Species: nodosus. In most cases, this process should take at least 15 minutes. Commonly know as a Sea Star or Starfish Scientific Name: Protoreaster nodosus. Vulnerable to sudden salinity/specific gravity changes.Īquarium Environment: Reef or fish-only aquariumĪcclimation Time: Sensitive to specific gravity/salinity changes, therefore be sure to adjust the bag's water to that of the aquarium in which it will be placed by slowly adding small amounts of aquarium water to the bag every few minutes. ( Linnaeus, 1758) Linckia laevigata (sometimes called the 'blue Linckia ' or blue star) is a species of sea star in the shallow waters of tropical Indo-Pacific. The Brisingida, a mainly deep-sea order of Asteroida, is represented in the Atlantic by 23 species belonging to 9 genera and 2 families. Sea Stars: Sea stars (group name Stelleroidea) are sometimes called starfish, though they are not real fish (they lack both vertebrae and fins). Occasional feedings of small pieces of fish or mussel flesh is also recommended. The specimens were identified as Henricia reticulata Hayashi, 1940, belonging to family Echinasteridea of order Spinulosida. Therefore the scientific name for the common sea star is: Asterias forbesi. Since they are basically herbivorous and detritus feeders, occasional feedings with algae pellets may prove beneficial.
Best maintained in well-aged aquariums having various live rock formations containing algae films/organic films and/or collections of detritus. Paleontological evidence suggests that the order Platyasterida (Luidiidae) comprises the more primitive starfish from which the Paxillosida (Astropectinidae).
