serpent star vs. brittle star

so i am thinking about getting a serpent but im not sure whether a brittle would be better. I just made my sand bed 4-5 inches deep. and would like something to keep the sand bed mixed up. i read the green brittles might catch fish but im not sure. any suggestions....samik

they will both work good for detritus. but not for stirring the sand you will need snails, cucummbers,wrass,gobbies.and sand siffting stars.

Brittles grows fast, serpents aren't too bad. Grown brittles does attack fishes, snails, you name it. Serpents aren't as agressive as brittles even at fully grown status.
