Brittle Star

What is the Swell Brittle Starfish?

The Brittle Starfish are a beautifully unusual looking starfish that feature long, thin arms, they live up to their name as their arms are very brittle and fragile and they will shed them if they feel threatened or disturbed so it is best if you only look at them and don't touch them. While they are reef safe, it is best if you don't keep them with small, slow moving fish as the starfish will eat them. If you are keeping these starfish make sure to house them with medium-large fish.
