darkdancer333 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I see all these tentacles all over my porous live rock. Are they a type of starfish?? I don't see the body just the tentacles coming from the rock You can see in the picture just to the right of the star polyp. kind of blurry but best I can do Link to comment
Alexraptor Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 They be small Brittle Stars! They tend to stick out their arms to filter the water for anything tasty that might drift by, my own reef is overrun by them. I swear, whenever I do a major feeding and turn off the pumps it's like Cthulhu lives in my tank! Link to comment

BulkRate Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Quite. They're a very handy part of a clean-up crew... better at cleaning out the crevices of live rock than bristle worms and not capable of riddling your hand with spines. Link to comment
