renman303 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 This is the weirdest Starfish? It came (3 of them) as hitchhikers on my Orange Tree Gorgonian today. All of it's arms are "split" about 1/4 of the way down. Camera shot is not too good but it has beautiful orange markings! One of them came off as I was placing the Gorgonian so I snapped a pic on a small Finger Leather. The other pic shows how they are wrapped around the Gorgonian.

Woods Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I can't tell but it looks like it may be some kind of Basket Star. You may want to research that and see if it resembles what you have in your tank... Also I believe there was another thread from another member having Basket Stars as a hitch hiker sometime last Winter/Spring that you may be able to find additional info on.

+KimP Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yep, definitely basket stars. I posted a while back a very similar wth is this thing post They are a lucky find but require very special care and rarely survive captivity. Definitely read up on it. Two of the members of maast have them and they are thriving. Lucky find!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
