Received the olive green brittle starfish in good condition. It’s active and healthy after a week in the tank. I’ve kept it with some soft corals, and it hasn’t caused any damage yet. Easy to spot and maintain in a 50-gallon tank. Will definitely buy again.

The starfish arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does move around a lot. I’m cautious with my coral placement now. Overall, a solid addition to my reef setup.

Perfect for a beginner reef keeper. The size is small, and it’s easy to monitor. I’ve seen it interact with a few anemones without any harm. It’s a nice, natural-looking addition to the tank.
