Ophioderma sp. – Robust Detritivore Brittle Star for Reef Aquarium

Ophioderma sp. is a nocturnal brittle star renowned for its effectiveness in waste elimination within reef aquariums. With its long, flexible arms covered in small spines, it discreetly slips under rocks to ensure meticulous cleaning of the substrate and less accessible areas.

A Useful and Discreet Helper

This species primarily lives hidden in the rocky crevices of the décor. It emerges from its hiding spot at nightfall or during quiet times to feed on leftover food and organic debris. It thus contributes to the biological stability of the aquarium. Ophioderma sp. is completely harmless to fish, corals, and invertebrates.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 150 liters
  • Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Rocky décor with many hiding places and shaded areas
  • Lighting: no specific requirement (nocturnal activity)

Behavior and Compatibility

Ophioderma sp. is a peaceful and self-sufficient species. It shows no aggression towards other tank inhabitants, making it an excellent choice for a community reef aquarium. It can be kept alone or in a small group if the volume allows.

As with all brittle stars, it may arrive with partially severed arms, a consequence of its life under rocks or collection. This has no impact on its health: the arms naturally regenerate in a few days.

Feeding

This brittle star mainly feeds on waste present in the aquarium:

  • Fish food debris
  • Organic detritus
  • Remains of algae or small dead invertebrates

You can supplement its diet by placing artemias, mysis, or small pieces of shrimp near its hiding spots.

Why Choose Ophioderma sp.?

  • Very effective nocturnal cleaner
  • Peaceful and discreet behavior
  • Harmless to all other tank inhabitants
  • Good regeneration of broken arms
  • Perfect for maintaining natural balance in a reef aquarium

Adopt Ophioderma sp. for natural and effective maintenance of your aquarium. It will fulfill its mission as a detritivore discreetly, without harming the aesthetic or balance of your reef.
