    so i bought LR from my lfs with some gorgeous X-mas tree worms but i also noticed a brittle star hitchhiker. its about 1.5 in. diameter, quite small.

    its all white/cream with black bands on the arms

    need to know asap before it runs away from view.

    Keep it. Neat microfauna.

    Not going to be harm to anyone.

    May you have more! ;)

    i got them there actually mini brittle stars and they multiply quick, when you put food in the tank youll have to take a good look after a while youll see all kind of little arms sticking out. they stay about an inch to inch in a half that seems to be there max size cool little critters.
