Ophiarachna incrassata – Green Detritivore Brittle Star for Reef Aquarium
Ophiarachna incrassata, commonly known as the green brittle star, is a starfish with a distinctive central disc. Thanks to its long flexible arms, it sneaks under rocks and into the corners of the aquarium to consume organic waste and food remnants. It's a very efficient natural cleaner that contributes to the biological balance of the tank.
A Discreet but Essential Brittle Star
This species mainly lives hidden in the rocky decor and comes out at night or during feeding. It can very quickly detect areas rich in particles to consume. Its ability to regenerate is remarkable: it's not uncommon for brittle stars to arrive with damaged arms, but these naturally regrow within a few days.
Behavior and Compatibility
Ophiarachna incrassata is a peaceful detritivore with most reef inhabitants, but it can sometimes attack small shrimp or weakened or sleeping fish. It is therefore recommended to keep it in a well-balanced tank, with plenty of hiding spots and a compatible population. It coexists very well with fixed invertebrates and corals.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 150 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Decor: live rocks with crevices, sandy substrate
- Lighting: not necessary, mainly nocturnal life
Feeding
Ophiarachna incrassata is detritivorous:
- Unconsumed food remnants
- Organic debris at the bottom of the tank
- Occasional meaty food (pieces of shrimp, mysis, etc.)
It is advisable to check that it is feeding well during night feeding, especially in very clean tanks.
Why Choose Ophiarachna incrassata?
- Efficient detritivore brittle star, ideal for cleaning inaccessible areas
- Hides under rocks, does not disturb corals or aesthetics
- Good regeneration ability in case of damaged arms
- Reef compatible with most invertebrates
- Ideal in mature tanks with natural substrate
Ophiarachna incrassata is a discreet but formidable ally for maintaining the cleanliness of your reef aquarium. Its ability to rummage under rocks and consume waste makes it an ideal addition to your detritivore team. To be integrated with caution in tanks containing sensitive micro-fish or shrimp.
