I found this guy the other day in the tank. It looks like some kind of star but it only has 4 legs.......The picture is a little blurry but it was the best that I could do with the camera I have. Have any suggestions????? :notsure: Thanks. (It's on the stalk between the two heads of frogspawn)

Thanks to you too, fedukeford.

Now that the tank is getting more established, I'm noticing a lot more hitchhikers, especially stars in the tank. I also found a couple of baby brittles. Or I think they are, maroon and white striped legs

Sounds like baby brittles to me, they wont get any bigger either, but will reproduce like crazy

Are they worth getting out, or trying or just let them go?

Dont take them out, they are good benifical hitchhikers
