2 Serpent sea stars ???

BKLYN651 · Nov 22, 2020

Was rearranging my large live rocks. Next day I seen my star under rock. It was there all day, so I figured I killed it.
I needed to buy more inverts for my 55 gallon and went ahead with ordering another serpent star. Today I noticed the star was alive!
I will now have another serpent. Can 2 stay in a 55? I have a 20 gallon reef but not sure that would work?

Yes they will be fine. I have 2 serpents and a brittle star together. Also I know they are considered cuc but it really is necessary to feed them occasionally. Even once every 2 weeks or so would be good for them
