Coloured Phataria Starfish

Blue Phataria Starfish are very similar to Linckia stars. They have rigid, 5-armed bodies and are typically blue with black lines although they do appear to have a pale blue, tan and orange form as well. They are relatively hardy for starfish and reef safe, feeding on algae, detritus and microorganisms.
