To get Sunhat Starfish in Fisch, go to Fischfest Island through the purple clam at Moosewood, find Captain Conk opposite the Tiki Hut, and complete his full five-mission questline to receive the companion automatically.
Sunhat Starfish is a limited-time event companion tied to the Fischfest event (also called Fisch Fest 2), and the only way to get it is by clearing the full questline from Captain Conk — also written Captain Conch — on Fischfest Island. There is no egg to hatch, no shop slot, and no Robux or Sheckles price for it; the pet drops into your companions automatically the moment you finish his last quest. What follows is the exact route to him and every objective in the five missions.

The toughest Captain Conk objectives to clear
Most of the questline is errand work — buying a drink, tossing driftwood, chasing down NPCs — but two objectives are where players actually get stuck. The first is Sunless Savages, which asks for three Sun Slashers. These are Fischfest catches rather than something you’ll pull on a normal rod, so the fastest approach is to swap to a high progress speed rod and run Coral Pearl bait before you start fishing for them; that combination shortens the slowest grind in the whole line.
The second wall is Flame Rod Final. Before you can even attempt the Flame Slasher, you have to open the great sand castle’s hatch by collecting all seven conches scattered around the event, and the Flame Slasher itself only counts when you land it with the restricted Star Shell Rod the quest hands you. Treat the whole line like a bigger event grind and finish one mission before moving to the next rather than trying to juggle objectives across quests.
For Sunless Savages, equip a high progress speed rod with Coral Pearl bait before hunting the three Sun Slashers — it cuts the slowest part of the questline down fast.
What Sunhat Starfish does for your catches
| Effect | Value |
|---|---|
| Tropical Sun mutation chance | +20% |
| Tropical Sun mutation chance (max level) | +35% |
| Luck per lit arm | +20% |
| Luck per lit arm (max level) | +30% |
| Maximum luck from five arms | +100%, or +150% at max level |
| Arm reset condition | Catching a Legendary or higher fish |
The pull of this companion is two stacked bonuses. It gives a flat +20% chance for Tropical Sun mutations, rising to +35% once the pet reaches max level, and that bonus applies to your overall Tropical Sun mutation chance rather than to each mutation separately. On top of that sits a luck mechanic built around its five arms: every time you catch a fish below Legendary rarity, one arm lights up, and each lit arm adds +20% luck (+30% at max level).
Because each lit arm adds its bonus on top of the last, all five arms together can reach +100% luck, or +150% at max level. The catch is that landing a Legendary or higher fish resets every arm at once and wipes the stacked luck, so the bonus rewards long runs of smaller catches instead of staying on permanently. It’s worth the grind mostly if you care about farming Tropical Sun mutations — Tan, Beach, Paradise, Tropical, and Super Tanned — which sharply raise a fish’s sale value; early players report rough payout multipliers around 6x on Beach, 7x on Tropical, 8x on Paradise, and 10x on Super Tanned, though those figures are still being tested.
Mistakes that stall the questline
If you went looking for a Starfish egg or a Robux price, you were probably reading about Grow a Garden’s Starfish pet — a completely different game. That one comes from an egg and a pet shop; Fisch’s Sunhat Starfish has no egg, no shop slot, and no price at all, so none of that information carries over.
KEY!
The other trap is treating this as one quick quest. Captain Conk’s line runs through five missions packed with side-NPC errands and mini-games, and those side objectives count toward the main line — skip them and the quest simply won’t complete, no matter how much event fishing you do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy Sunhat Starfish with Robux or Sheckles?
No. Sunhat Starfish is quest-locked and isn’t sold anywhere — there’s no Sheckles, credit, or Robux price for it. The only way to get it is by finishing Captain Conk’s full questline on Fischfest Island.
Where is Captain Conk in Fisch?
He stands on the shore of Fischfest Island, directly opposite the Tiki Hut. To reach the island, go to Moosewood Village, head to the shore near the Trade Plaza NPC, and jump on the purple clam to teleport across.
Is Sunhat Starfish limited-time?
Yes. It’s a limited-time Fischfest event companion, so its availability may end when the event closes. A firm end date for grabbing it hasn’t been set out yet, so it’s safest to finish the questline while the event is live.
What resets Sunhat Starfish’s luck arms?
Catching a fish of Legendary rarity or higher resets all five arms at once, removing the stacked luck bonus. Only catches below Legendary light the arms back up.
Is Sunhat Starfish the same as the Grow a Garden Starfish pet?
No. The Grow a Garden Starfish is a separate game’s pet that comes from an egg and a pet shop. Fisch’s Sunhat Starfish is a companion earned only through Captain Conk’s Fischfest questline, so egg rates and shop prices from that other game don’t apply here.
