Great Scavenger for the marine aquarium
Brittle Starfish are great housekeepers for the reef aquarium and will eat dead organisms, and uneaten food before these items can decay and pollute the aquarium. Although Brittle Starfish are not a threat to corals or clams, they may catch and eat small passive reef fishes, such as small gobies, at night. Otherwise Brittle Starfish are great reef inhabitants.
