Great scavenger for the reef tank. The only negative is they are typically not out in the open. They spend most of the day in between rocks in search of food, coming out to scavenge at night. |

The Orange Serpent Sea Star (Ophioderma sp.) belongs to the family named Ophiodermatidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 14 inches in diameter, the Orange Serpent Sea Star is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Ophioderma sp. in general should have extra bright (5+ watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include rockwork structure and plenty of hiding spaces.
