Anyone know of someone who has had those in there tanks? I saw them on the Sea Crop site, Was just curious on how and if its possible to care for one..

Thanks any info would be good

Don't know really, but they are abundant in the surf along the coast of the carolinas. From that I would expect they need a sand bed for them to stand up in (they don't lie flat) very heavy flow and very heavy feeding of particulate matter and/or phyto. Don't sound easy to me....

I've read they need a lot of square footage of sand bed.

They require even more food than a sand sifting star.
