This starfish (?) hitchhiked home today on a chunk of live rock. Can somebody help me identify it and whether I should put him in tank or not???? We only have a couple clowns, and a couple coral so far...substrate is a fine sand if any of that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Micro brittle star.

good guy. Eats left over food, detritus and keeps the insides of the rocks all clean.

Nice score on a great cleanup crew member.
