"Green" Serpent Starfish

Green Serpent Starfish (Ophiarachna incrassata)
The Green Serpent Starfish is a striking and active species known for its bright green arms and serpentine movements. Native to Caribbean and Florida reefs, it feeds on detritus and biofilm but can also prey on small fish or invertebrates, so it is not considered reef safe. This hardy starfish can grow very large, up to 10 inches or more across, and thrives in established tanks with stable water conditions and plenty of space to explore. Its bold appearance and dynamic behavior make it a captivating addition to species-specific or fish-only setups.
