Need Help asap!

Alright, thanks.

Let's hope for the best lol. I might just take them out when they get bigger.

 

i have one that's probably 18 inches from tip to tip. it stays under a peice of my rock. the only time i see it is when i move the rock or if i'm feeding brine shrimp he'll stick an arm out and catch a few. never bothered anything.

 

They Sound like mini brittle stars. They wont get very big and are safe. I have tons of them in my tank.

 

I had a couple in my last tank (110g).....a rusty red one & a black one. They were both about 9 or 10" tip to tip.

I was going nuts trying to find what was snagging my shrimp. In the research process, I did find that there are UNSAFE brittle stars. Can't remember where, I'm thinking "...Contientious Marine Aquarist...."?

Anyway, turns out my "ReefSafe" bluejaw trigger was grubbing my creaner shrimp.

 

Why is everyone mentioning all these DIFFERENT star fish? He most likely has mini brittle stars. Completely reef safe, will not eat fish. Only grow 1-2" at most.

Everyone else that has starfish that are huge, most likely have serpant stars, which are reef safe.

 

The "reason" is: so people can start looking for info & get used to doing research on their own.

 

i have a 8 to 10 inch brown brittle star in my tank and he doesnt bother naything...

 

Other than these green ones, I would not worry at all.

It sounds like the ones you have are micro brittlestars. Those are good.

 

you mean macro?

 

no worries friend.....
