While feeding corals in my established tank tonight, I saw this dude and a couple more like him. He is about 1/2 inch across. Is this a baby brittle starfish, or is this like it bit something smaller that is a pest? They were hiding down around the base of my Zoas.

I like those little guys lol. I see their little arms hanging out of tiny crevices in my rocks- great addition to the tank in my opinion- just another interesting thing to see in your tank. And he’s working for your clean up crew lol-
