Hello!

Ordered some gorgon online, a small little orange starfish came with it.

Ai states its a orange brittle starfish, however would love to hear you guys. And if its reefsafe or not.

Kinda hard to see, any way you could get it out and put it in a small white dish or something, perhaps something like a pill bottle cap?

There seems to be another hitchhiker, any idea for both?

Orange brittle starfish for the 1st one. Those are harmless to have

I think they're all brittle stars. The other one is just a color that closely matches the coral.

Thank you for the responses, also according famous all knowing ai, both seem to be orange brittle starfish. Dont knos if its true or not.

I did a dip of the coral, they fell off, but also didnt bother putting them the tank. I was a bit hessitant on it.

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
