Howdy. Got a wild colony and it had 3 teddy bear crabs and this serpent star. DT or sump

Half Dollar in total size

DT - it's a beneficial scavenger.

ok. I know some will straight up eat your fish. just checking on this guy.

I believe that the full-sized green ones could be fish eaters. Yours strikes me more of a micro brittle star, max size is about a half-dollar.

I'm going with mini brittle for now. Micro brittles for me are the old school ones about nickel size that reproduce like crazy in the tank (whic I am looking for as my new tanks were set up with dead rock and lack the diversity of my past tanks).
