I was told that my tank of 10 gal is to small for a brittle or serpent starfish they will just starve to death.

I just feed mine brine shrimp. let his "arms" get ahold of the food and it will eat. they can get big but you have some time. i have a brittle in a 10 gallon.

lettuce nudis would be hard for you to keep because when they run out of hair algae to eat they starve, but you could keep a fighting conch if you wanted to.

I already have a coral banded shrimp. I don't think I can add any other kind of shrimp can I??

Corals are inverts too, if your lighting can support them.

I was told not to add other shrimp with my Coral Banded. And that was good advice because he is absolutely insane.
