At first glance, the Sand Sifting White Starfish may appear unremarkable in color compared to other bottom-dwelling creatures. But upon closer inspection, one can admire the breathtaking elegance and serene appearance of its alternating bands of brown and beige on its thick, spiky arms. As a member of the Astropectinidae family, this starfish, also known as Astropecten typicus, is incredibly effective at consuming large amounts of detritus and leftover food. Its ability to burrow into the substrate and its nocturnal habits make it a valuable addition to any aquarium.
As a versatile and docile species, the Archaster typicus is recommended for maintaining cleanliness and removing excess waste in large home aquariums. Acting as a natural scavenger, this starfish consumes small invertebrates like shrimp, urchins, and mollusks. To ensure its well-being in a well-established marine environment, it requires a varied diet of natural foods. Neglecting to feed this voracious and efficient cleaner may result in it burrowing into the substrate and eventually dying. Keep your aquarium flourishing with the Sand Sifting White Starfish.
Enhance the thriving of your Sand Sifting Sea Star by providing a deep sand bottom and protecting it from natural predators. The Sand Sifting White Starfish (Archaster typicus) is sensitive to oxygen, salinity, and pH levels and cannot tolerate copper-based medication like other invertebrates. Use the drip acclimation technique to acclimate new specimens and avoid handling them in the air. In captivity, breeding is difficult as distinguishing between male and female Sand Sifting White Starfish is not simple.
