Okay, so when I first loaded my tank up with live rock about four months ago, I had a couple of brittle stars come in on the rock. The two of them would go up and down the glass. Once my tank cycled and really got going, I never saw them again.

Whenever I feed, I will see these little tentacles stick out of my first piece of live rock. I assumed this was my starfish, and the tentacles seeming to get bigger, more of them, and easier to see now.

Am I right in assuming these are my brittle stars, or something else entirely?

Yeah, with good quality live rock you will normally see a ton of these guys. Good member of your CUC.

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
