Bubble Tip Brittle Star

bubble tip brittle star found on several of the reefs scattered throughout the Indo-Pacific region. These stars differ from other Brittle Stars in that many of the tiny filamented "hairs" on the body and legs are bulbous tipped. They have a central disc that is decorated with black and white markings. Brittle starfish are some of the hardest working aquarium cleaners available to our hobby. They are wonderful reef inhabitants that always seem to be looking for some uneaten bit of food and have the ability to get into just about any space.
