Serpant or brittle

Which starfish should I pick. I always get confused which is best for a reef with smaller fish.

according to ophuria, serpents and brittles are the same animal, they just look slightly different. so i think its really a matter of personal preference.

Thanks, I guess I will look for anything but green. I've been in this hobby for 3 yrs and this will be my first star fish. Other then the tiny hitchhikers in my tanks.

ive been wanting to get one too. im just concerned about it stealing food from my sun coral. i really like those red serpents that SWF sells, but i guess they get pretty big.

I wouldnt mind a big one, my tank is a 150, I just dont want it to eat my clown gobies.

I need to up my cleanup crew from just snails and crabs though.
