I have quite a few of these and I couldn't find much info on them at all. The little info I found made them sound good but I was curious if any of you guys had any info or experiences with them. They were on the glass of the tank I took down thats only got a couple pieces of rock left in it. I have been seeing them more often in my 72 as well.

Good to know, I always check that page first along with wet web media but I didn't see any that stayed really small so I figured I would ask.
 
they likely don't stay small, they are probably babies, but generaly speaking brittlestars are safe to have.

I wish I had some in my tank. Guess I will have to get some more live rock and hopefully seed it that way.

Go to you LFS and find corals that have large rocks on them, then look closely and you will probably see some, "Live rock" tends to not have many as the "curing" process is pretty hard on living things, so the always wet coral rocks sustain mini critters better.

Thanks for the advise. I will look into that and see what I find.
