Blue spot butterfly fish.

Blue spot butterfly. Requires plenty of space to swim with lots of live rocks. Takes time to set in an aquarium. Feeds on live & frozen artemia in the aquarium. Shows the blue color patch clearly only after it is properly set in the aquarium. Does well with members of its own species. Buy only fish that are accepting dry feed at the pet shop.

Red Knobbed Starfish.

Red Knobbed starfish. Invertebrate. Should be introduced into stable aquariums only. Tanks should be at least 6months old. This is a Detrivore, Algaevore & opportunistic feeder. Will go after most shellfish, clams etc in an aquarium. The aquarium should not have any accumulated nitrates as this will be detrimental to the long term health of the animal.
