Biscuit Star Care Guide

Origin
Commonly found in shallow coastal zones and sandy reef flats of the Indo-Pacific.

Lighting Requirements
Biscuit Stars do not rely on light and can thrive under any reef lighting condition.

Water Flow
Low to moderate flow is ideal. Too strong a current may limit their ability to move naturally across the sandbed.

Feeding
These stars are detritivores. They feed on decaying matter, uneaten food, and biofilm. In low-nutrient systems, offer occasional small bits of frozen food or sinking pellets.

Placement
Place directly on the sandbed. Avoid sharp rocks or aggressive tank mates that might disturb or injure them. Ideal for peaceful community tanks.

Acclimation
Biscuit Stars are sensitive to rapid changes in salinity. Drip acclimate slowly over 1–2 hours and avoid direct exposure to air during transfers.

Final Note
Low-maintenance, peaceful, and undeniably adorable, Biscuit Stars are a fantastic addition to any reef tank’s cleanup crew. Their subtle appearance adds visual diversity without overwhelming other display elements.
