Orange Double Sea Star

Iconaster Sea Stars are typically found in deep-sea environments, often inhabiting areas with soft sediment or mud on the ocean floor. Iconaster Sea Stars are predators and scavengers that primarily feed on detritus, organic particles, and small organisms in the sediment of the sea floor. Their diet can include plankton, small crustaceans, and other microscopic organisms. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.

Iconaster longimanus Sea Stars are sometimes also known as the Double Sea Star. They are not commonly seen in the aquarium trade. They often have a coloration that allows them to blend in with their surroundings. This can include shades of brown, tan, or reddish-brown. The color may also be influenced by the specific species and the types of organisms they associate with. They can grow up to 12".
