ml86743 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yep I have a bunch! They tear through uneaten food and stuff. Very nice addition and they multiply like crazy! Link to comment

Mazzy21 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 There are "micro" stars that look like traditional brittle stars as well and I would think that's what you have since it's so small. I acutally ordered some of these for my last tank. Love them! Hopefully you get a huge colony going and can sell some. I'll buy. Link to comment
NYfishies Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have a ton of these in my tank. They love keeping their bodies within the cracks of live rock and then their tentacles reach out through the holes. At first, I thought they were sort of scary looking, but once I understood they are quite the addition to my CUC I am happy to see more and more. Link to comment
Steve973 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 They're some of the best scavengers that you can have in your tank. Good find! I recently re-started my tank and I need to acquire some, as well as bristle worms and asterinas. Link to comment
