mini stars usually come in on live rock or in chaeto as above posted. does your LFS have a vat they keep live rock in? if so ask if you can dig around in the sand and dirt that collects in the bottom.

the one lfs has their rock in an aquarium, it doesnt have any other livestock in it but i still doubt that they would let me dig around in it. my other lfs keeps their lr in large bins so i could prolly check there. i hear that the mini brittles are some of the best detrivores out there, is that true? if so i need a few.

yup, they are great detrivores..you can also check some popular auction sites out there...
