How to Care for Green Brittle Starfish written by Dave Burr 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. Acclimation: Maintaining proper pH, Ca, Alk, & Mg levels is important for starfish. Take the time to do a drip acclimation with any starfish as they do not tolerate rapid changes in water chemistry very well. Feeding: Provide the Green Brittle Starfish with bits of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, or chopped shrimp, or silversides. It will also scavenge the aquarium for bits of food missed by the fish.
