So I am inspecting my rock work, because that’s what is reefers do, inspect rocks, and I just noticed these little “legs” coming out of 2 different spots. All are on the same rock. What you you guys think?

Spot Number 1. IGNORE THE APTASIA. I kinda like it[emoji6][emoji38]

Micro brittle star. Probably has missing some arms.

I can’t believe I forgot to tag you[emoji23] that’s what I was assuming, but thought I would share. Would 3 stars all have missing legs though?
