Ophioderma squamosissimus – Ideal Detritivore Brittle Star for Reef Aquarium
Ophioderma squamosissimus is a nocturnal brittle star with a compact central body and long, flexible arms covered with visible scales. This species is perfectly suited for life in a reef aquarium, where it plays an essential role in cleaning the substrate by consuming organic waste and food leftovers.
A Discreet and Efficient Helper
Highly appreciated for its robustness and ability to adapt to different types of environments, Ophioderma squamosissimus hides under rocks during the day and mainly comes out at night to fulfill its detritivore mission. It is harmless to fish, corals, and invertebrates and does not disrupt the stability of your aquarium.
Maintenance Conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 150 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Setup: live rocks, dark areas, and sandy substrate
- Lighting: non-essential (nocturnal activity)
Behavior and Compatibility
This brittle star is very discreet, autonomous, and peaceful. It can be kept alone or in groups, without risk to the reef fauna. Its presence helps maintain a good biological balance in the tank. It is often invisible during the day, hidden under rocks, but remains very active once the lights are off.
Note: like all brittle stars, it may arrive with slightly shortened arms due to collection or transport. This is absolutely not harmful, they naturally regrow in a few days.
Feeding
Ophioderma squamosissimus primarily feeds on:
- Fish food leftovers
- Organic detritus
- Dead sponges, microorganisms, and biofilm
It can be occasionally supplemented with frozen brine shrimp, mysis, or small pieces of crustaceans.
Why Choose Ophioderma squamosissimus?
- Perfectly compatible with reef aquariums
- Active and autonomous detritivore
- Very resilient and easy to maintain
- Harmless to all other inhabitants
- Contributes to the biological balance of the tank
