theANEMONEA Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 uhh...that's a serpent star. See the circular body shape? A brittle star doesn't have that distinct form. Get it out of there. It'll eat your ###### Link to comment

Sushi Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 i gotta agree w/jennie on this one... i have a good handful of these little guys in my tank... mostly come out at night to scavenge for food. they are harmless Link to comment
kevin25 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yeah, I have them in my tank also. But never seen their full bodies just their legs poking out of the LR.. Hey jennie, how long have you been a reefer? seems like you know alot about saltwater. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Mini brittle star. they wont hurt anything at all, infact they are super beneficial count your self lucky. It is a sign of a healthy aquarium. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 kevin, not very long, i am still a noob. one year this month, but i do a lot of reading up on stuff. even if it does not pertain to what i am keeping in my tank, but i still have so much to learn, way more actually Link to comment
kevin25 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yeah me too, I also read as much as possible. Just seems their is always something new to learn. Everyone has different opinions which can get a little difficult as well. I dont know many women who are into this hobby.. Glad to see that i know someone who is. My wife just hates that Im addicted to my tank..LOL What kind of tank and lighting do you have? Link to comment
