Can you keep a burgundy sea star (Tamaria sp) with a volitan lionfish?

The seastar is reef safe and can not be spot fed. Unless you have at least 100lbs of LR minimum, I would say odds of keeping it long term are low. They do better in large reef systems with PRISTINE water conditions (esp specific gravity should be 1.025-1.026).

Puffers, triggers and large wrasses pose the biggest threat to seastars.
