Brittle seastar

So I bought a Pectinia and during the dip, I had two brittles fall off. Should I keep this mess for the reef?

Yup, micro brittlestars, very good hitchhikers

If they just went through a dip, they might not make it. However, I'd add them anyways. They might make it, and if they do, they're good members of the clean up crew.

Just noticed there’s 6 of these guys too. What type of pod?

 

[Anemone_Fanatic]

Amphipods. Harmless fish food.

Just regular amphipods. Put them in the tank

I think they’re now dead. No movement. But the pods are moving.

Add the stars anyway. They might recover and there is zero risk of harm.
