micro brittle stars- do I want any?

Like the trhead title says, Someone is giving some away.

Are they worth it, beneficial, or a pest that over multiply?

TIA,
Todd

 

I dont think theyll cause any trouble.They are like everything else they wont multiply any farther than the excess food in your tank will allow

 

i would grab them! they are harmless fitler feeders that live within your liverock. they add an interesting alien effect to feeding time imo. definitely a good thing to have in your tank though!

 

I have found a couple in my tank, and they haven't seemingly multiplied a lot. I know they are beneficial members of your CUC and they're really cool looking. If you're hesitant, just get a small number.

 

THANKS! for the replies all!

I'll be trying to get them before someone else does in my area

 

Have had literally hundreds in my 135 for years without any negative impact.

 

+1 to all the above.

I rarely ever see mine, other than the little arms poking out of holes in the rocks.

 

I think I actually may already have some, and I'll try and get some more.

Thanks again all
