Tiny Brittle Stars

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Too funny, I had a "bloom" of these like two days ago. Mine are uber miniscule right now, but everywhere. My wrasse is having a heyday on them. I changed the flow a little bit and they blew out of some rock.
 
I've had one that out grew my 55 gal coral tank. It will clean ur tank well. The only thing is, at the size mine grew to I was concerned it would polish of some small fish and believe it did. They are cool though.

They should never eat fish even if the grow to 10" if they are bristle stars... but if they are serpent stars then its entierly possible.
 
I have a few small ones and one that is about 7" or so in my tank. I noticed I had them when looking at my tank with a red flashlight at night( Best way to view your tank at night by the way) The big one must have caught a ride on a coral or some liverock I bought, but they are def. safe.
