Red Tile Fromia Star

Fromia sea stars regenerate lost arms, which sounds like a superpower until you remember that regrowing tissue takes energy they don't have much to spare — this is a slow-moving grazer that needs a genuinely mature reef with established biofilm, not a freshly cycled tank, to find enough food to survive long term.

Care level: Moderate · Temperament: Peaceful · Max size: ~4" arm span · Min tank: 50+ gal, mature · Reef safe: Yes · Diet: Detritivore, grazes biofilm
