Hey guys, I can't find anything at all about this species in captivity. They live locally to me in areas I can collect and they are absolutely magnificent looking start fish, they come in pretty much every colour you can think of and they are very bright. I've not been able to find much about their diet, just this one paragraph:

 

"Like other sea stars, the Cushion Sea Star is a slow-moving animal using its tube feet to move on the topic of, collecting or subduing the food items that constitute this omnivorous spp. diet, namely, algae, detritus, mussels and other invertebrates. This spp. is viviparous like a few others classified in the genus Patiriella, brooding its young within the body."

 

Does anyone think I could successfully maintain this long term? Or if it would be reef safe?
