Red Bun Starfish

The Brittle Starfish is a fascinating and beneficial addition to many saltwater aquariums. Its unique behavior and cleaning abilities make it popular in reef and marine setups

Brittle Starfish have long, slender arms that contrast with their small, central body, making them an intriguing sight. Their arms often exhibit rapid movements as they scavenge or explore the tank.

Brittle Starfish are generally reef-safe, meaning they won't harm corals or other invertebrates. They make an excellent choice for reef tank setups and community tanks.

These starfish are natural scavengers, feeding on detritus, algae, and leftover food in the tank. Their cleaning abilities help maintain a healthy aquarium environment by consuming organic matter that may otherwise accumulate.

Brittle Starfish are relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional supplemental feeding. They thrive in tanks with ample hiding spots and stable water parameters.

Known for their quick movements and ability to move rapidly across the tank, Brittle Starfish are entertaining to watch. They often burrow into the substrate or hide among rocks, adding an element of mystery to the aquarium.

• Tank Size: Brittle Starfish require at least a 20-gallon tank, with plenty of hiding spots and space to explore.
• Feeding: While they scavenge for food, offering them extra food like sinking pellets or pieces of shrimp may be necessary, especially in tanks with low organic matter.
• Tankmates: While they are generally peaceful, they may attempt to feed on smaller, slow-moving invertebrates if the opportunity arises.
