Need an ID on starfish

[Mike N]

This guy came inside an empty snail shell. I think its a mini brittle, but want confirmation before putting him in.

I think it’s a brittle. I have many in my tank

I have quite a few in mine. Can always see their arms sticking out of holes in the rocks. Never had any issues from them I would think they are beneficial.

Looks like one to me. Dont judge her for her short arms. She might be sensitive.

 

[Mike N]

Thanks everyone. I've tossed her in the tank without judgement.

The one pictured is quite safe with corals and most other stars.
