Burgundy starfish are a captivating addition to any aquarium due to their stunning colors and unique appearance. As one of the easier to keep starfish species, they are a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Burgundy starfish can grow up to 12 inches in size and primarily feed on bacterial films and sponges, making them an interesting and low-maintenance species to care for.

When it comes to keeping a Burgundy starfish, it's important to ensure that the aquarium is large enough to accommodate their size and that the water conditions are stable and appropriate. These starfish require a well-established aquarium that has been running for at least a year, as the bacterial film they feed on typically appears in abundance in mature tanks. Supplemental feedings may be offered occasionally, but they are rarely necessary if the aquarium is well-maintained. With proper care, Burgundy starfish can live for several years, providing a fascinating and captivating addition to any marine aquarium.
