Interested in getting a starfish

[JustRoy]

hey!
Iv'e been trying to find some info about starfish but without too much success, so I have a few questions.
Which starfish would answer those requirements?:
-reef safe-won't eat anything that lives in the tank
-a good looking one
-can live in a 10G reef
-one that won't starve, one that can eat food pellets.
thanks,
Roy.

Depending on your tank I wouldn't add one until its been up and running for a while but I am quite partial to the serpent starfish.

i would say a serpent star or brittle star. but as mentioned above wait until your tank is well established for best success.

Ok then.
I'm planing on adding some corals, since the measurements of the tank are all stable and ready to go. So should i add it after? what about shrimp, is there any shrimp or crab that can be a danger for the serpent star?
thanks,
Roy.

With a 10g tank, i would say a couple asterinas.... LOL Just kidding.

Get a serpent or brittle like previously instructed, just stay away from the green ones. I really like my tiger serpent, you just dont see them often.
