    Has anyone ever had problems with their brittle star attacking tank mates?

    The general consensus is that brittles are good, and you only need to worry about the green ones.

    I have a bunch in my tank and they haven't caused any problems. They help keep the tank clean, so that's good! I don't really like them, but that's just 'cause they creep me out.
