About this item
Chocolate Chip Starfish
Chocolate Chip Starfish (Protoreaster nodosus) is a hardy and distinctive echinoderm known for its tan body covered with dark raised “chip-like” nodules. Its unique texture and bold appearance make it a standout addition to marine aquariums.
This species is highly resilient and well-suited for fish-only systems. It moves slowly across the substrate and rockwork, adding a natural and peaceful presence to the aquarium environment. Many hobbyists will also buy this regenerating starfish to keep and feed the very popular Harlequin Shrimp.
