I don't think any starfish would be suitable in a 29g nano. Maybe fromia if you let it establish for a year or longer so film algae can be plentiful to support it.

You might be ok with a serpent star. Mine did fine in nanos before we set up the big tank.

serpent or fromia, but the longer you wait the better.

Serpent may survive eating detritus and will take hand-feedings. Fromia will die, no matter what you do.

To the OP, harlequin serpents or brittle stars (but not the green ones) are your best bet.

My sand sifter is the only thing that cleans the sand. She is out and about often. She was recommended bu the store and they know all my specs. If I notice things going down hill I will rehome her.. But she's been doing great.. plus I have a bad habit of over feeding pellets and large and small mysis shrimp ..
