    Weird extra nubs on brittle star arms?

    Weird scab in nessarius snail

    Hi there - I’ve had this snail for about 2 weeks and just noticed this scab/lesion looking thing on his back (not the shell). Any idea what this is or if it’s a sign of something bad for my other fish?

    Blunt spine brittle star reef safe?

    Hello! My LFS had a black blunt spine brittle star on sale and I made an impulse purchase because I love the way they look. I know most brittle stars are reef safe but I’ve read that some may eat fish. Does anyone have experience with this type of brittle star?

At first I thought it was because I had a bunch of urchins but they were rehomed due to a lack of food and in the year they've been gone I still have none. I noticed patches that...
