hmmm dunno.. im going to follow.. If it would be my guess it looks predator type. ( but like i said i have no clue )

lets hope its not a Ophiorachna incrassata but an Ophiolepis superba

Dit you buy it from an LFS or did you get it with some live rock?

Why's that? What's the difference?
 
Well if you got it on live rock it could be a Pest. If you got it from an LFS.. he probably knows what hes selling and then your chances are better having something thats reef safe.,
I got him from the local fish store. And I'm not worried about him, cause I made a tank for a shamefaced crab. And put this guy in there. I'm not worried about him hurting my crab. More worried my crab may hurt him.
 
I was asking about the two different types of brittles you were mentioning
 
Ophioderma squamosissimus 100%.

It cannot be an ophiorachna incrassata (obviously).
