Banded Serpent Starfish (Ophioderma Appressum)

The moss green Banded Serpent Sea Serpents come in a striking star pattern.  These starfish are easier to keep than many other types but will do best in a tank of at least 30 gallons. Serpent Stars are Brittle Stars Ophiuroidea, have no tube feet, and their arms are more mobile than sea stars. Their central disk is also more distinct than that of sea stars. Some serpent stars are scavengers but will happily eat fish food and hydrated krill. You can train them to be fed by hand.

This Sea Serpent is guaranteed for live arrival only.
