Common name: Sea Stars

Goniasteridae, commonly known as sea stars or asteroids, is a diverse family of starfish characterized by a wide range of colors and patterns. Members of this family are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their striking appearance and their role in the tank's ecosystem. They are generally reef-safe and can help control algae growth. However, some species may prey on small invertebrates or corals. It's important to research individual species for compatibility with tank inhabitants. Goniasteridae species often require stable water conditions and ample hiding places.
