should I keep this starfish?

[Tabasco1]

Here is a link to a pic of the starfish I have, he was a freebie with my LR purchase and pretty cool, although brown with darker brown banding on the arms. My main concern is that I have read some of the serpent stars will arch up in the rock work and ambush fish. Does anybody know if this this that kind?

It is cool when I feed the LR bin he moves pretty quick to where I am feeding and will take the food right out of my hand. If I let him he will try to pull his body up onto my fingers. Initially it was cool, but after thinking about it, I am like... whoa, that is kind of agressive. Is it going to attack fish once I start stocking?

I believe you're referring to a green brittle star as the ones that are fish hunters. As far as I know, almost all serpent stars are reef safe. I'd say keep it, just keep a watchful eye for any misbehavior...

Keep it. They are great at getting at all the uneaten food that falls in between the rocks.

Thank you for confirming! I'll keep it. Just wanted to make sure after the very enthusiastic feeding response.
