Oh Dang! How'd It Go?Unfortunately no
Well I was actually just going to ask about this. Are they similar to fish? As in do they take a few days to get use to the environment before they start exploring? Only reason I ask is after I finally put it in the water last night and he moved around the tank a bit, but I woke up to him being under a certain rock and when I got home it appeared he was under the same rock. When o put a flashlight directly on him I can see some movement but just wanted to make sure he’s ok.Oh Dang! How'd It Go?
Yeah he’ll take a while to get used to his environment like 2-3 days. They are also nocturnal and sometimes crepuscular (they come out at dawn and dusk)Well I was actually just going to ask about this. Are they similar to fish?

Ordered some silversides today. Just curious how much do you feed just one sea star? And how many times a week?Awesome thanks for the info! Would you say you feed more shrimp or silverside? Or just try to keep it pretty balanced.
I like to feed 1-2 times a weekOrdered some silversides today. Just curious how much do you feed just one sea star? And how many times a week?
Serpent and brittle stars are great but they don't go on the glass. I've heard the green ones can eat fish though. I have an orange serpent that looks awesome. Go to the grocery store and get some cheap raw seafood (the stuff I buy is called seafood medley from winco)
I’ve never noticed this with my green serpent. However, I have witnessed it attack my ill pufferfish when it was laying on bottom.You are correct - it is the Green Brittle - Ophiarachna incrassata - that will eat small or otherwise unsuspecting fish. They are great scavengers but what you will notice is that they also hunt at night. The way they do it is stand on their tentacles for lack of a better word and pretend to be a tunnel or cave pass through. When something passes under they collapse and wrap the fish in its arms and consume it.
The green are pretty obvious though. There are other serpent stars that are safer so I say avoid the brittles.

I didn’t notice any unsalted shrimp today while at the store. Is it somewhere specific? I went to Walmart and Kroger both and it was just regular frozen shrimp but nothing labeled unsaltedThey don’t eat algae, detritus and other foods. Silversides I can get here
Bio-Pure Frozen Silversides
Silversides are a long, slender, brightly colored minnow, that are a perfect diet for larger fish that have a predatory instinct like Lion fish, Anglers, Eels and more. Silversides contain extremely high protein and fat content making them an ideal food for large marine fish. Two Sizes Available...www.bulkreefsupply.com
And shrimp are raw and unsalted from the grocery store

Fed my tank my first silverside today. Cut it into thirds and gave two 1/3 pieces to random spots for hermit crabs to eat. Have the other 1/3 to the serpent sea star and all of it is gone. Sea star immediately snagged it, glad to see it’s healthy and eatingNo it’s not normally labeled unsalted sorry for the misunderstanding, just make sure it doesn’t have like old bay or anything
