Super cool!!!

I was doing a water change and I saw a SUPER small brittle star in my cc. It is the first one I have seen. It was only about a quarter of an inch in diameter, that is legs and all. I was so stoked to find something so small

Pull out a flashlight at night. You will be amazed at the little critters ya'll find.

That is a very good thing to find in your tank!

I bought 20 lbs of live rock from Miami and transported it in a small cooler. 3 weeks later when I went to use the cooler in the tiny bit of water that was left pooled there was a tiny star. I was amazed.

I hope to see it again!! My tank is doing super. My LTA is humongous and my first round of corals are doing well also. Thanks to all the helpful info I get from this board and it's users.

I bought a large piece of Marshall rock. I picked it out, they shook it off, put it in my cooler. When I got home and was putting it in my tank, I saw a NICE size brittle star clinging to an inside crevice, from leg tip to leg tip, about 5", also an EXTREMELLY tiny little hermit crab. Kewl, free critters, and I didn't have to cure the rock......lol They are still alive too
