The **Green Brittle Starfish** is a fascinating and beneficial addition to any aquarium. These starfish are predominantly green with yellow accents and typically feature five long, spiny arms extending from their central disc.
Reaching up to 10 inches in size, **Green Brittle Starfish** require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are semi-aggressive but generally coexist peacefully with most invertebrates, fish, and corals, making them an excellent choice for reef tanks. However, they may pose a threat to smaller or sick fish and invertebrates.
It's best to avoid housing **Green Brittle Starfish** with larger aggressive fish like triggers and puffers that may pick at them. They thrive in environments with abundant live rock, providing hiding spots and food sources. As scavengers, they spend much of their time searching for leftover food, contributing to the tank's cleanup crew.
These omnivores need a diet rich in both plant and animal matter. While they primarily feed on what they find in the tank, you can supplement their diet with mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods.
