Fromia monilis
The Red Fromia Starfish is one of the more aquarium-suitable starfish species, with a vivid red-orange body dotted with darker spots. Unlike the notoriously difficult Linckia starfish, Fromia species are somewhat hardier, though they still require a mature, stable reef tank with ample microfauna on live rock to graze on. Acclimate extremely slowly (drip acclimate for 2+ hours) as starfish are highly sensitive to salinity and pH changes.
