I have probably had the brittle starfish about a year. He stays hidden and I assume he feeds on whatever he finds on the bottom which is not much. However he has grown from about 3 inches tip to tip to nearer 10 or so. I see it maybe once a month.

I have a brittle star that climbs into the intake basket of my protein skimmer and goes to the bottom under the pump motor. I assume he should not be in there and in trying to remove him this morning had one of his legs come off very easily.Tonight I thought I should remove the seperated leg...

In my 125 gal.tank I have just added a Flame Angel to a much much larger well established Purple Tang and Clown Fish. The Tang & clown go for the food but the Flame angel stays out of the way under the rocks. I do not know if he will eat pellets off the bottom or not. I have tried dropping...
