Star Fish Bag

The African Red Knobby Sea Stars have dull spines, bumps or knobs on their dorsal surface often in contrasting Reds, Burgundy’s and oranges on a grey or tan body. This species is hardy but is an aggressive feeder and will be more than happy to mount and consume sessile invertebrates including clams, urchins, oysters, anemones, and all manner of corals (soft and stony). It is also known to prey on sleeping, slow or weak fish. If it can catch it, it will eat it. It is on the Restricted Species List.
