Ophiocoma nereidina – Decorative and Harmless Detritivore Brittle Star
Ophiocoma nereidina is a robust and ornamental brittle star, known for its efficiency in cleaning reef aquariums. Its star-shaped body and long, mobile arms allow it to easily sneak under rocks in search of debris and food remnants. It is particularly active at night but remains visible during the day if the decor is spacious enough.
A Great, Discreet Cleaner
This brittle star primarily lives hidden under live rocks and moves with agility to ensure the cleaning of the aquarium floor. Very effective, it consumes a wide range of decomposing organic matter, thus preventing waste accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. Ophiocoma nereidina is harmless to fish, corals, and other invertebrates.
Behavior and Compatibility
Of a peaceful nature, this brittle star poses no cohabitation problems with other reef species. It is ideal in a community reef aquarium, even populated with sensitive animals. Note that brittle stars may sometimes arrive with shortened arms due to fishing or maintenance; this has no consequence, as their arms naturally regenerate in a few days.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 150 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Decor: live rocks, numerous hiding spots, and shaded areas
- Lighting: irrelevant, mainly nocturnal activity
Feeding
Ophiocoma nereidina naturally feeds on organic waste and food remnants at the bottom of the aquarium:
- Fish food debris
- Organic detritus
- Unconsumed food particles
It can also occasionally consume meaty foods like pieces of shrimp or artemia, distributed near its hiding spot.
Why Choose Ophiocoma nereidina?
- Highly effective cleaner under rocks and in corners
- Peaceful behavior, ideal for community reefs
- Harmless to corals, fish, and invertebrates
- Good arm regeneration capability in case of breakage
- Easy to acclimate, even for beginner aquarists
Ophiocoma nereidina is an excellent ally for maintaining the cleanliness of your reef tank. Discreet but active, it ensures effective cleaning without disturbing the other tank inhabitants.

Belle Ophiure
Superbe ophiure de belle taille arrivée en pleine forme !
By Thierry S. the 03/12/2022
Détritivore original
Superbe ophiure ! Vraiment je l'adore, elle est souvent visible et se déplace pour trouver des coins où elle peut filtrer avec ses pattes. Peut se montrer très goulue si elle attrape un gros morceau genre pâté maison. Mes crevettes ont compris qu'elle attrapait facilement des morceaux de nourriture et viennent des fois se servir dans ses pattes. Bonne entente avec les autres habitants du bac, rien à signaler. Merci RAH ^^
