They are beautiful but these shouldnt be sold for aquarium.You have to drip aclimate them for at least 4 hours when you introduce them in aquarium and dont touch them on the upper part because thats where she breathe.I wish you that your star will be among the lucky ones .These fromia and also linkia are much more sensitive than the sandsifing stars.Serpent stars are most hardyer to keep in aquarium and thoose will live long time .
Drip acclimating anything for 30 minutes, much less 4 hours, will guarantee it dies.

These stars have poor survival rate in aquarium,they start to disintegrate and die in 90 percent of the cases and the lucky ones survive like a year in aquarium until they starve to death.
