Yellow Brittle Star

Yellow Brittle Starfish, Ophiarachna incrassata, is a Tongan native whose yellow or golden body is decorated with intricate green patterns. One of the larger Brittle Starfish available to aquarium hobbyists, they are some of the hardest working Cleaners available. They are wonderful reef inhabitants that always seem to be looking for some bit of uneaten food in even the tiniest of crevices.

Notes: Starfish are extremely sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters and to the presence of copper. Extra care and time should be taken whenever acclimating this animal. Linckia Starfish must never receive exposure to air during acclimation.
