are brittle stars reef safe? i found a tiny one in my tank....

The tiny ones commonly found as hitchhikers are reef-safe. Even beneficial in terms of eating uneaten food and adding to the zooplantkon population when they spawn.

Probably got it from me.
My tank is infested.

They're cool & most of the time stay in the rocks & wave their arms when you feed the tank.:starfish:
