These starfish are mostly nocturnal and often retreat into crevices or under rocks during the day to hide from predators. They are very useful for the aquarium as they contribute to algae control and the breakdown of organic waste. Their delicate arms are very sensitive and can be easily injured, which should be taken into account when handling them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Berghia Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53562803716429,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5755\/7325\/files\/ophiolepis_superba.jpg?v=1773959463","url":"https:\/\/aquaexotica.de\/en\/products\/gebanderter-schlangenseestern-ophiolepis-superba","provider":"AquaExotica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
