Starfish for small tank

Good mornin' ;)

Ophiomastix annulosa is carnivorous and indeed You can feed him by hand or better with tweezers and give him a little frozen fish or something like that (of course melted, not frozen anymore *g*). It's very keen on food like this and it looks very funny if he has a whole smelt inside and his body is heavily baggy with the fish. :D

Other brittle stars like Ophioderma spp. or Ophiolepis superba are more herbivorous, the little Ophiocoma pumila only eat detritus and algae of course too. They like carrion either.
