Brittle Starfish Tiger Black

The Tiger Brittle Starfish is typically tucked away from view during daylight. As night falls, this invertebrate becomes a dynamic scavenger, traversing the tank’s bottom and live rock in search of edible morsels. Generally, they are compatible companions for fish, corals, and other invertebrates in the reef tank.

Starfish are known for their sensitivity to environmental shifts within their aquatic home. Sudden alterations in temperature, salinity, or other water quality metrics can have detrimental effects on them. When introducing a starfish to your tank or performing water changes, it is crucial to ensure new water conditions closely match the existing ones to prevent stress or harm.

The diet of brittle and serpent starfish is largely scavenger-based, with some feeding on snails and other small invertebrates, while others prefer detritus, uneaten food, and microorganisms found throughout the tank’s substrate and rock structures.
