Starfish are an attractive, colorful, and unusual addition to any tropical marine aquarium. They provide cleanup services in an aquarium and can coexist peacefully with most species of fish. However, introducing a starfish to a new aquarium can be a difficult task. They are very sensitive creatures and can react badly to sudden changes in water temperature or chemistry. It is important for novice and experienced aquarium keepers alike to know how to acclimate starfish safely to their new environment.
