Brittle stars

[ClownStar]

Just wondering if you guys can drop some pictures of the brittle stars that are safe and unsafe, I put one in my tank and I’m unsure if it was the safe one for my fish. Thanks

The black, banded and beige brittle starfish are all reef-safe (they're scavengers, primarily nocturnal and you'll rarely see them).

Welcome to the forum!
There are many species, so it would probably be easiest for you to post a picture of yours to identify. I don’t have any pics of mine, it never leaves its rock. It is brown with darker bands and “fuzzy” arms.
I’m pretty sure the green ones are the only non reef safe ones.

I don’t know the exact species, but it looks like one of the harmless ones to me.
