Serpent star is a brittle. Your green one is a hunter of living tank mates btw.That looks like a serpent sea star.
It can be aggressive if not kept full it never leaves it cave. Ophiocomidae family that serpent sea star from the Ophiuridae not exactly the same thing reason why ones reef safe other not so much.The banded ones are reef safe.
Knobby Brittle I had. It weird how some are reef safe and get huge but other are not so much.
That's cool!And he made it through it all.
The knobby I had a powder brown tang, two black and white clowns, red mandarin, porcupine puffer, lawnmower blenny.What fish do you keep in the tank with this star?

The green brittle there 2 orange misbarred clowns, 3 bangaii cardinal fish, lawnmower blenny.
Trust me I've been in and out of this hobby for years sea stars rarely eat fish unless you're lazy and refuse to target feed them.
Brittle don't like to move around much they stick there tentacles out and wait for very small pods, shrimp, maybe fry or debris from something floating around that was eaten by something else.
I have never had them topple the rockwork. The biggest excavator in my tank is my maroon clown fish! Fortunately I put my rockwork directly on the tank bottom and not on the sand bed.How are they at toppling rocks? Ever have an avalanche because of them?
