brittle sea star

Hello! My LFS had a black blunt spine brittle star on sale and I made an impulse purchase because I love the way they look. I know most brittle stars are reef safe but I’ve read that some may eat fish. Does anyone have experience with this type of brittle star?

Ophiarachna incrassata is one of a large group of sea stars that we often lump together as “Brittle Stars,” and is most often referred to as the Fancy Green Brittle Star. It is also, somewhat unimaginatively also called the Large Brittle Star. In Germany, they call it Olivgrüner Schlangenstern...

Hello :) I have been looking to get some micro brittle starfish for my nano (the ones that get an inch big) i heard they were common hitchhikers so i was wondering if anyone has any in surplus??

Hi all, I have a big Fancy Brittle Sea Star; the kind with the stripes down its arms. I'd say it's 10-12" from tip to tip with a center disc of 2.5" or so. I'm curious how much you feed and how often? I've had some smaller fish disappear here and there - in the 2-3" range - and while I've...
