Overview
The Red Biscuit Sea Star Goniodiscaster scaber presents itself in a striking mosaic pattern of red and white that is sure to create bright contrast in your marine aquarium. A member of the Asteroidea class, these sea stars can reproduce both asexually and sexually. Embryos hatch into larvae and later morph into juveniles that will go on to develop into young sea stars with stubby arms.
Growing in nature in areas of seagrass with low canopies, they are more commonly seen during the night.
A member of the Oreasteridae family, this Sea Star is an omnivore that scavenges on coral rubble and feeds on tubeworms in nature. In an aquarium, it can be fed zooplankton, very finely chopped meaty foods, and liquid invertebrate food.
