Brittle serpent star Hitchhiker

[Michael Gentile]

I bought a duncan frag a while back from an LFS and a little brittle sea star was attached to the bottom and they let me keep it for free with the frag. He was so tiny after he was in the tank, i would only see his legs from time to time in the cracks of the rocks. Today i was looking through my tank and i saw there was sets of legs on opposite sides on the tank coming out of the rocks. They both look relatively the same size 4 legs each. is it possible the star split and made two? or is it another pest. I can try to take pics but its very hard to see on the camera.

Micro brittle star. Yes they reproduce quickly but they stay small like that and are a great addition to your clean up crew

I've got them all over the place. Can't shift a rock or take a power head out for cleaning without them wiggling out from some crevice. I think they're cool.

These ones are awesome, I was blessed with a massive army of them with my first reef. Sadly lost them all in my first tank crash, and haven't seen them since. =/
