starfish hitchhiker?

[MsBean]

Found this guy in my QT after about 10 days with a psammacora and cleaner shrimp. Id please? Looks like some kind of baby long armed starfish? What should I do with him?

That a micro brittle starfish - harmless/beneficial CUC.

Thank you! Moving him into my main tank then. Will consider him a free bonus prize - though I am still a little mystified as to where he came from, with nothing but a cleaner shrimp and a small coral frag (that had been thoroughly soaked in Coral RX) to ride in on...

Those also multiply Ive heard. Very cool little guys!

He was hiding in the coral. They multiply very fast and will hide in your rock work great clean up crew.

Looks like you hit the clean up crew lotto. I've had these in the past and they do a great job

I found this in my QT tank also, can anyone let me know if this is good or bad?

Sorry, I forgot to mention, the starfish is only about 1 1/2 inches across. Thank you for any responses. (If it is good or bad)

That's another kind of brittle starfish - should be good.
