Is this a baby Brittle star

[RichieT]

Anyone every see anything like this? I'm trying to decide if it is a baby brittle star or a baby aptasia. This is super super small. Smaller than the tip of a ball point pen. It is not blue, just crystal clear and catching hints of the LEDs

Hard to tell on my phone. Hydroid maybe?

 

[RichieT]

Nothing super "pesty" though?

The torso looks to large to be a brittle.

Think ball point pen. You can't really see it with the naked eye. I'm assuming proportions are skewed when things are that small.

Its is a hydroid more than likely, some people call them glass jellies.

The body does like a little big but I have no idea what it could be. here is a baby brittle star next to the 'S'

I have millions of mini brittle stars, they get about 3/4" in total diameter from leg tip to leg tip and are very small. Maybe one of those but I can't really tell.

I'd say hydroid. Look at this site, the photo on the right catches the light exactly like your photo. LionfishLair.com - Hitchhiker Guide to your Aquarium
