BISCUIT STARFISH

This biscuit starfish has been in my tank for 3 years now....the red seaweed has also grown from a spec!!

This tank is just awe inspiring.

A bit of confusion though. I understand that you collect all the specimens from the ocean. This is, of course, legal in New Zealand?

Are there any sites that tell regulations/rules of where else this is legal?

Thanks,
Rei

Taking from the ocean is only allowed outside marine reserves, otherwise illegal in NZ.
