Description
The Banded Serpent Star is a highly active and beneficial invertebrate for reef tanks. Its long, banded arms allow it to easily scavenge food, detritus, and organic matter from the substrate. Known for its peaceful nature, this starfish is a great addition to community reef aquariums. It typically hides during the day, emerging at night to forage. With its ability to clean the tank and reach areas that other tank inhabitants might not, the Banded Serpent Star plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy aquarium ecosystem. Be sure to provide plenty of hiding spots in the tank for it to feel secure. Approximate Purchase Size: 3″ to 6″
