Free Brittle Star to a good home

[tom39]

I have a large brittle star that was given to me and it now way to big for any of the tanks I have. As for size, I estimate that each leg is about 8" and the center hub is about the size of a half dollar.

I think that I have a pic and will post it shortly.

 

Thanks,

Tom

That's a Green Death Star! Ophiarachna incrassata.

I've removed many of them from tanks because they are predators.

Here's some more info:

So what did you do with it when you took it out? Did you just dispose of it? I was hoping not to do that and I could find it a home.

Thank you for the offer, I have a lead and if it doesn't pan out I will bring it to you.

Some places are crazy enough to include them as part of their cleanup crew packages.

Yeah, I have seen that before too. When I first started, I thought a star would be a neat addition and something to talk about. Now that I know a little more about them, I am glad I never did.
