    The mini brittle stars are nocturnal scavengers that eat detritus. They are great for your tank. If you look closely at your live rock during the day you can usually see a few legs sticking out here or there. Congratulations on the new find.

    Unfortunately, it seems as though 99.9% of all hitchhikers are bad for a reef. What makes it even worse is that they are the coolest looking hitch hikers of all em them (the 99.9% that are bad).
