Common questions
Is this ornament safe for both fish tanks and reptile terrariums?
Yes. Zoo Med markets this piece as suitable for both aquarium and terrarium use.
Will the paintwork affect water chemistry?
Zoo Med does not publish a specific water-safety or pH-neutral claim for this ornament, so if water chemistry is a concern for a sensitive species, rinse the piece thoroughly before use and monitor parameters after adding it.
What size tank is it suitable for?
At 12cm, it works as a mid-sized feature piece rather than a centrepiece for large aquascapes; exact placement depends on your tank or enclosure dimensions.
Can I use it with saltwater fish?
Zoo Med lists the Steampunk range as suitable for aquariums generally, without specifying freshwater or marine only.
Does it come with other pieces from the range?
No. This listing is for the Starfish ornament only; other Steampunk pieces are sold separately.
