I don't know how it got in the tank, but I have a very very very very very tiny starfish in my reef set up. This thing is really small and he moves all over the glass. I can see 6 "arms" on him. My camera skills suck and I cant get a focus on him to take a good pic. They all just come out as a blob.

I normally like buying new corals and getting freebies, but do you think this guy will cause problems if he gets any bigger? The only thing I've added recently is a nudibranch (which promptly disappeared into the live rock to never be seen again) and I doubt the starfish came in on that- so it may have been in the tank awhile already.
 
does it have long thin arms or short thick ones?
long & thing means brittle star
short & fat asterna.. neither is BAD persay, just a nuisense in larger numbers...

how big's the tank? do you have a sump? you maybe could get a few harliquin shrimp
