{"product_id":"new-caledonian-sea-star-nardoa-novaecaledoniae","title":"New Caledonian Sea Star (Nardoa novaecaledoniae)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking member of the starfish family, Nardoa novaecaledoniae is known for its chunky arms and often mottled, patterned coloration. Native to the Indo-Pacific, particularly around New Caledonia, this sea star adds a wild, natural Reef look but requires careful consideration before introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appearance: Thick, knobby arms with variable coloration ranging from browns and tans to bluish or mottled tones. Typically five-armed, although the arms are stubbier compared to other starfishes.\u003cbr\u003e Adult size: Can reach 20–25 cm across.\u003cbr\u003e Temperament: Non-aggressive but opportunistic. Like many sea stars, it may snack on sessile invertebrates if underfed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tank requirements: Large, mature Reef system (minimum 300 L). Needs stable salinity and pristine water conditions; intolerant of rapid parameter swings. Provide plenty of live rock and biofilm surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e Diet: Omnivorous scavenger. Will graze on detritus, biofilm, and occasionally soft corals or sponges. Supplement with meaty frozen foods or specialized starfish diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCare level: Advanced. Sensitive to acclimation and water quality. Long-term survival depends heavily on tank maturity and consistent feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korallifarmi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696064782659,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/1864\/8365\/files\/new-caledonian-sea-star-nardoa-novaecaledoniae-586.webp?v=1758134409","url":"https:\/\/korellifarmi.com\/en\/products\/new-caledonian-sea-star-nardoa-novaecaledoniae","provider":"Korallifarmi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
