I have millions in my tank. They seem to grow out of nowhere. I started with maybe like 10 and they exploded. How much are you buying them for currently?

There’s gotta be some local reefers you can get them from. They’re kind of hard to avoid.

Bumping this thread as I too am looking for micro brittle stars (and spaghetti worms). I will gladly pay for shipping if anyone has a ton of them!

How many spaghetti worms do you want? I don’t have a TON but I’ve certainly got at least 10, probably more that I would be willing to pluck out! If you overfeed like I do they *will* reproduce. I started with one.

5-10 would be enough. I only have 1 fish right now in my 45 gallon, but tons of live rock.

Just wanting to seed as much biodiversity as I can. I love the critters :)

I would imagine its just putting them in a plastic bag (like at the pet store) filled with saltwater and put the bag in a box.

Maybe some styrofoam to help insulate it?

I realized I have no idea how to even ship worms, but let me send you a DM anyway.
I should also say I'm a little short on cash this month. But early next month we can do this and I can venmo or zelle you what it costs to ship.

Let me know if that works for you.
