Very uncommon red chocolate chip star and runs about $125View attachment 2793007
Saw this amazing full red chocolate/knobby star just now, does anyone know what species is this?
Certainly wouldn't mind more info on it, could it be a new species? It's the size of the palm(minus the finger) which certainly makes seem like an adult?If I had to guess of the top of my head, I'd say it's a color variation of Protoreaster linckii...I could do some looking into it though if you wanted...if you're happy with it and understand it's not reef safe, etc., then it looks like a good find. I haven't seen one like that personally.
I doubt it's a new species...it's probably just phenotypic plasticity (a high degree of variation at that)...if you really want it, see if you can outbid the guy. I personally haven't seen a pure red one like that. Of it's something that really excited you and you have a little extra money for it, I'd try to get it! Don't give up quite yet!Certainly wouldn't mind more info on it, could it be a new species? It's the size of the palm(minus the finger) which certainly makes seem like an adult?
The ruby red dragonet has being in the hobby for years before it's recognised as a distinct specie.
Unfortunately it seem to be sold instantly, i was told it has already being reserved by someone else.
There's always a chance it could be an unrecognized species, but I'm currently inclined to agree with livinlifeinBKK that it's most likely just a phenotype of some known species (like how Linckia laevigata is actually an ecophenotype of Linckia multifora). Yeah, I've seen these offered for sale at 3-4", so I'm inclined to agree that it's most likely an adult.Certainly wouldn't mind more info on it, could it be a new species?
