Tiger Serpent Starfish Ophioderma

Tiger Serpent Starfish are nocturnal detritivores that thrive in established reef and FOWLR systems. These hardy echinoderms actively scavenge the substrate for uneaten food and organic debris, reducing tank maintenance while supporting a balanced ecosystem. Their banded coloration and graceful movement make them visually engaging additions to mature aquariums. **Optimal Parameters:** pH: 8.1–8.3 Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C) Salinity: 1.023–1.025 (specific gravity) Provide ample rockwork and sandy areas for foraging. Feed occasionally with quality sinking pellets or frozen foods if natural food sources are limited. Handle with care during acclimation and tank maintenance.
