Bradley's Sea Star

Mithrodia Sea Stars are typically found in marine environments, often in temperate to subpolar regions. They inhabit both shallow and deep-sea areas, ranging from rocky intertidal zones to continental slopes and deep-sea canyons. Mithrodia Sea Stars are carnivores that generally feed on small invertebrates such as mollusks, crustaceans, and other bottom-dwelling organisms. They are known to use their tube feet and powerful arms to capture and manipulate their prey. 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.

Mithrodia bradleyi Sea Stars are also sometimes known as Bradley's Sea Stars. They are not typically collected for the aquarium trade. Bradley's Sea Stars typically have a reddish-brown or maroon color, with a rough texture on the upper surface. Their color may vary slightly between individuals. They can grow up to 8".
