Brittle or Micro Brittle?

Wonder where the best place to look for them is.... maybe the live rock containers or in some of the snail tanks

 

I got mine in on frags and chaeto.
Brittle stars spawn.

 

Wish I could find one at the lfs as well. As far as I know they only sell normal brittles and I am too paranoid about one eating a fish or something.

 

Those are micro or mini brittle stars. The full size ones just the main body is the size of a quarter to a 50 cent piece, with the legs mine from tip to tip was about a foot.

 

the will too :/

 

So you think the ones I have in my tank have spawned? Last time I saw one was when I moved the LR, he was hiding underneath on the sand bed.

Other than that I have not seen one in 3 or 4 months :/

Hope they spawn, they are awesome and that picture is wowzors. I've never seen one climb on the glass!!!

 

I heard the micro ones can reproduce fast and get out of hand? Anyone know anything about that?

 

Yeah, me LOL. I have tons of them, started with 4 in the fuge, moved 3 up to the DT & left 1 in the fuge. I have a few in the fuge and TONS in the display. I feed them, though. When I get home from work & top off while the food is thawing, they know it's dinner time & hundreds of arms start waving around!

 

Lol I mayyy want to avoid them.

 

I must have about 200+ of these buggers. White, Black, and Stripped. Its my belief they originally started from my live sand. I must lose atleast 20-50 everytime I do a litte detris cleaning.
Great scavengers, I placed a dried shrimp in a fireworm trap in the morning, caught 2 fireworms that night and 6 little stars. Returned the stars to the tank. I do this about once a month. I have a large population of small common fireworms. I don't mind them but i want to keep them under control.
All starfish can breed in three ways. Spliting in two (on purpose), a single starfish may release eggs and sperm. or breaking. a leg 1/2 long (on these tiny starfish) can be cut 8 times and all 8 pieces can grow into a whole starfish. CRAZY! (eggs are not likely to hatch in an aquarium).
