    So I am sitting in front of my tank looking around like I usually do.. i notice a couple tentacles coming from a hole in my live rock. Two bristled tentacles that are tan and have darker bands. I thought it looked like a brittle star. Today finally, I see the body! YAH a brittle star from my live rock. The odd thing is though, he has two long tentacles and 3 short.
    This is the first time I have actually seen the body come out from the tiny hole in the live rock though. I think the 3 short ones were stuffed in the back of the hole hindering growth. Will the 3 tentacles eventually catch up?

    Maybe the 3 got broken off somehow and are starting to regrow?

    Maybe, we will see I guess. I have never seen it come out of that hole in the live rock.
    Hopefully it gets brave soon and starts traveling around
