lindubz Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I found a brittle sea star about 1 inch big. I did not buy it. It must have piggy-backed in on something. It's a very small tank and I know sea stars get very large. I also hear they are semi-aggressive. I would like to keep it until it gets big but how fast do they grow? Is it safe to keep? It's a brown one with black rings
fretfreak13 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 its probably a micro brittle star, and its fine. Some sea stars are hard to keep, but brittles are easy and you probably have tons more of them. Does it have hairy-looking legs, or are they smooth? If they're smooth, it could be a harlequin serpent star, and if so you're lucky! I only suggest this because I rarely see the micros get to be an inch, normally they're very tiny.

saltt Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Lucky! I didn't get any good hitch hikers on my live rock no bristle worms or brittle stars. I'm disappointed!
