As others have stated the bristle stars, and serpent stars won't sift, or dig around in the sand bed. Mine have been pretty good about going after any detritus on the surface though. If you decide to go with one, stay away from the green serpents. They're fairly effective fish hunters. I've had two smooth reddish brown ones in my main tank for awhile and just moved the larger one to the lionfish tank. Once I can catch the other one It's going in the octo tank, cause I want to get a blue-spot jawfish when they start showing up in the LFS again.

A seabiscuit is more or less a fat sand dollar.

I have not observed any predatory overtures from my particular specimen!

Good luck with whatever you decide!

We have micro sand stars....the kind that the ipsf sells.We culture them and have millions.They do great for keeping your sand bed clean and dont appear to affect any micro fauna.They are scavengers.These starfish only get nickel size and reproduce like you would not beleive!!!!!If you need some ask VTF to get some for you.They should sell for around a dollar a piece or something like that.
