Ophiolepis superba, commonly known as the Tiger Serpent Starfish, has a small central disc and five long, flexible arms banded with dark stripes over a brownish-orange background. It is a peaceful, mostly nocturnal animal that hides among the rocks during the day.

It should be housed in a saltwater aquarium of 50L or larger with plenty of live rock to hide in and a sandy substrate. It is sensitive to salinity swings and unstable water parameters, so slow drip acclimation is essential.

The Tiger Serpent Starfish is a detritivore and scavenger that feeds on leftover food, detritus and small invertebrates. It can be fed pieces of shrimp, mollusc, fish and carnivore preparations. Reef compatible with caution, as it may capture small sleeping fish or shrimp.
