Common name: Nardoa Starfish

Nardoa is a genus of sea stars found in the Indo-Pacific region, known for their distinctive tile-like patterns on their surface. These starfish are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their striking appearance and their role in controlling algae and detritus. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of tank mates. However, they require a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. Nardoa species are sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters, so stability is key. They are also known for their ability to regenerate lost limbs, a fascinating aspect of their biology.
