Re: starfish?????
Yeah brittle and serpent stars are the best. Choc chip stars are definitely not reef safe and most other starfish are very difficult to maintain. They usually just unexpectedly die in short periods of time.
If you get a brittle star make sure its not green. The green ones can be very dangerous.

Re: starfish?????
Green brittles will eat inverts & small fish (if they get too close).

Re: starfish?????
Serpent stars are the way to go.And there is a reason the green brittles are called green death.
