Like other starfish they are still quite sensitive to changes in the PH, temperature, and salinity changes. Echinaster purpureus requires a longer and slower acclimation period being introduced to the aquarium. This starfish consumes microorganisms and an almost invisible film algae. Due to this, they should be introduced to only established aquariums.
