Breeding brittle stars

[Ladybrewer]

After a water change today, tons of brittle stars made their appearance to breed. A pretty cool sight! They made the water cloudy with all their activities- I guess they had fun

Is this a common thing? Do people get these things breeding in their tank? i want a couple but i also dont want a factory of them?

They're everywhere!! I hitchhiked some brittles too and I think they too have been reproducing. Mine don't come out as much as yours, then tend to occupy the rocks and stick out their legs when feeding. Cool but also grosses me out a tad.
