I have some strange looking "star fish" things cruising through my 10g that I assume hitch hiked on to some live rock. They're very small, white in color, with five tenticles. They prefer to hang out at the base of the rock, which I assume is low current. Any ideas?

They sound like mini-brittles..... I have quite a few also. Good critters to have around.

Thanks BigArn....never really paid attention to those details.....while I'm testing the water and making sure the PH's are working my wife notices things like that. So last week I after coming home from a trip I get, "When did you put star fish in the 10g?" :thinking: :thinking:

Mini brittle stars are cool! I have a bunch in my nano.
They are cute!

Thick arms (Asterina possibly) or thin arms (mini-brittle)?
