Are brittle starfish similar to astereas in that they can’t have enchanted tomonts on them?

Just realized there is a typo in the title, nothing enchanting about tomonts. *encysted*

I’ve read before that asterea stars can’t have encysted tomonts on their skin and don’t require quarantine.

I want to know if anyone has data on whether the same is true for brittle starfish? I want to pick one up soon but need to know if it should go in the invert qt.

Probably the best call, this is too niche of a question.

I wonder how fast this guy will bounce around my 10g frag/invert qt lol!

Starfish and urchins just need a rinse (in case of theronts) and then are good to go.

Sweet, and this is applicable to all starfish, not just astereas?

Yes; and all sea urchins.
