Keeping a basket star?

[Drachs]

I ended up with a basket star from my Tampa Bay Saltwater grab bag. I wouldn't buy one on purpose because I have heard how difficult they are, but now that he's here I'd like to give him a shot.

Anybody know anything about keeping them?

I discovered tonight that he won't come out if my LED nightlights are on.

I've tried feeding him slurry and defrosted gut loaded brine shrimp but it's hard to tell if he reacted or not.

Give it time to get adjusted and let it hang out wherever it finds the best water movement....... probably on your overflow.

Feed it cyclopeeze and small mysids at night when it opens. In time, it will open in daytime when you feed the tank.

I had one for two years but lost it in a crash.
