Like with bats, birds, fish, etc, starfish are often used in a decorative manner. I feel that if we had both of the tags featured in the title, it would be easier to filter out just decorative and non-focused on starfish images from images that actually have them as a participating species or focus. Of course, like other ambient_ANIMAL/similar tags, these tags would imply/also be tagged with the starfish tag.

So? Thoughts? I feel it would be really helpful with finally organizing and separating posts that just happen to have starfish as decorations/bras/backround animals (popular example: Primarina's hair accessory starfish)

from actual, anthro/feral/active in the scene/focused on starfish (popular example: Patrick Star)

I feel if this is approved then maybe things like "starfish_bikini" (which is severely undertagged btw) should imply starfish_(accessory) too or something

I think both starfish_accessory and ambient_starfish are a good idea. Cuz yeah, they're so rare as actual characters that a search for them turns up MOSTLY false positives.

Agreed honestly

Also sometimes there are starfish (ambient or otherwise) ALONGSIDE a starfish accessory, example:

so both would be rly helpful imho, hence why I changed the forum title to "AND" rather than "OR"
