• Nama dagang bule: Sand Sifting Starfish (Astropecten polycanthus)
• Family: Astropectinidae
• Range: Indo-Pacific
• Size: Up to 12 inches
• Diet: Carnivore
• Tank Set-up: Marine: Sandy bottom
• Reef Compatible: Yes
• Tank Conditions: 72-78ºF; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4

The Sand Sifting Starfish or Sea Star, has a thick, beige to brown body with lateral spines (teeth) extending upward along each side of its five arms. It does not have suction cups on its feet, so it does not climb; instead, with the help of its spines, it moves over the sandy bottom of the ocean sifting through sand for food. The spines also enable it to burrow into the sand to hide or digest its food.

It is very active and effective at moving large amounts of sand as it searches for food. It does well in an aquarium setting if provided with a large, deep (several inches) sand bottom where it can feed and hide. It should not be housed with Puffers. It is very sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and will not tolerate high levels of nitrates.

Breeding in an aquarium is extremely difficult with no distinguishing characteristics to help differentiate males from females.
In the aquarium, it can be fed small pieces of shrimp, fish, urchins, bivalves, or other small starfish.
