Green Fancy Brittle Sea Star

(Ophiarachna incrassata)

Ophiarachna Sea Stars are generally found in the Indo-Wes Pacific Oceans from Sri Lanka to Hawaii. They generally inhabit reef areas and generally found in crevices and under rocks. They are omnivores and should be fed zooplankton, chopped meaty items, and liquid invertebrate foods. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.

Ophiarachna incrassata are also sometimes known as Green or Yellow Fancy Brittle Sea Stars. They are not often seen in the aquarium trade. Ophiarachna incrassata are typically green or yellow and may have varying shades of green or yellow on their arms and central disc. The color can sometimes be influenced by environmental factors and diet. They can grow up to 12".
