Starfish compatibility

I will soon add a orange marbled fromia star to my 37 gallon FOWLR tank, and now I am wondering if I can also add a brittle star to the tank as well. Would a brittle star get along with the fromia star, the peppermint shrimp and the hermit crabs in the tank?

Shouldn't be a problem. I have the two you mention in a 90 gal. Although much larger, I still do not think you will have any issues. The brittle (depending on exact species) is not a predator and shouldn't be a concern.
