Starfish for 29g?

Are there any reef safe none aggresive will stay small to fit in 30 gallon starfish? besides brittle star fish?

 

serpent or brittle are reef safe,i'm sure theres more but those are the ones i know,theres also asterinas but they can become a nuisance in your tank by dividing.

 

so just those 2? I really dont like the look for neither of them lol

 

Well, most true stars need some kind of unusual food source (at least, unusual to provide in a tank), like bacteria or bivalves. Because of this, there's not really anything that fits the bill as both reef safe and able to survive in a small tank.

 

I have a 28g and have a sand sifter star. I don't see him much but he is reef safe and does just fine in my small tank.

 

+1 i was thinking sandsifter. though not the coolest looking starfish it is a reef safe starfish

 

I don't know how long you've had it, or for how long, or how deep your sand bed is, but I'll point out that people have put them into 2+ year old tanks with 300+ pounds of sand and had them starve since they can deplete the sand bed of food extremely quickly.

 

Just about to mention that about the sand sifter. I kind of want a serpant start because the look so different. Like this one...

...ok well that didn't work. haha. I thought Live Aquaria used to sell an orange serpent star?

 

I remember there being a red serpent for a while, but not an orange one.

 

Red/orange...probably the same one.
