Horned starfish are fairly easy to maintain and will eat meaty foods that are provided. They're considered reef safe with caution as they have been known to feed on corals, feeding on corals is probably triggered when a coral is damaged or dying but it cannot be completely ruled out. Noxious soft corals like leathers and mushrooms should be fine.

We offer an 'Arrive Alive' guarantee on all corals, critters, fish and invertebrates. If they do not arrive alive then subject to these terms and conditions you can request a replacement or refund. We guarantee our livestock will arrive alive, there is no reason why it should arrive any other way due to the care and professional way in which they are packaged with heatpacks, polystyrene boxes and all other necessary precautions considered for the species we are shipping.
