Pentagonaster Sea Stars are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. They primarily eat sponges, bryozoans, and other invertebrates. 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.
Pentagonaster dubeni Sea Stars are also sometimes known as Biscuit Stars or Biscuit Sea Stars. They are sometimes seen in the aquarium trade. Biscuit Sea Stars are typically reddish-brown to orange-brown in color, and often have a distinct mottled pattern. They can grow up to 8".
