What else do you have in your tank?

Maybe a small one but when it starts to get bigger they will eat your cuc and small fish.

Brittles are OK but get big. Same with serpants. I have kept a serpant in a 29 but when it got big I had to part with it. They are pretty fast growing too. When they get larger supplement their diet or they will supplement themselves. usually by snagging a fish that is resting. Lost 4 chromis and a firefish before I figured out my star was snagging them. I never thought it would happen but it did. Anyone want a fish eating serpant star?
