Care instructions:

The Asterina is an easy-care and peaceful inhabitant that can be kept in almost any well-maintained reef aquarium. It prefers a bottom or rocky area, where it reliably performs its algae-eating task. These starfish are generally nocturnal, but they are also active during the day, especially when searching for algae or other organic matter.

The Asterina's main function is to eat algae and detritus, which is especially beneficial in an aquarium that is heavily planted or affected by an algal bloom. They are very useful as they help control algae growth on the rocks and in the corners of the aquarium without harming the corals. The Asterina is a peaceful companion and poses no threat to other inhabitants of the aquarium.

Special features:

• Algae eater : The Asterina is an excellent algae eater and helps control the growth of unwanted algae in the aquarium.
• Useful for aquariums : Especially useful in aquariums with slight algae growth or where mechanical filtration is not sufficient to remove all organic residues.
• Plant-friendly : It only eats algae and organic residues and poses no threat to corals or other aquarium plants.
• Small and discreet : Due to its small size, the Asterina is unobtrusive and does not disturb the overall aesthetic appearance of the aquarium.

The Asterina is the perfect choice for aquarium owners looking for a natural and effective way to control algae growth while maintaining the beauty of their reef aquarium. These small but efficient starfish are not only beneficial but also completely peaceful, complementing any aquarium ecosystem.
