    A brittlestar will starve in a 6 gallon tank. Other than that, you're good.

    Unless you get tons of algae or feed them, I'd skip 1 or 2 of the trochus snails and drop the emerald. Definitely no to the brittle star, they get big.

    You'll be fine without the brittle star. With luck you might get some micro brittle stars.
