I've got a really big brittle star that came in a live rock rock recently. It has to be about 6-8 inches from 1 arm tip to another. It's been in my tank for about 2 weeks now and I've never noticed it leaving its hiding spot.

I can see it laying flat between a rock and the back wall. I've poked it with my coral feeding forceps occasionally to make sure it's still alive and it curls up when to touch it. I just don't think it's ever left that spot, though.

Is that unusual or is that just how they live?
