Is this a baby brittle star? Do I want these in my reef? If in doubt I will be like NO.

Micro brittle star, good clean up crew. You do want it in your reef.

It's a common micro brittlestar. It's a beneficial detrivore. Safe.

That's great thanks for the help, I was hoping they were good guys.
There were at least three on my frag. I started with dry rock so I am a little paranoid about hitchhikers.

I started with dry rock and spent good money on these guys. You want them

After almost three months, I removed my GSP frag rock to clean a piece of red bubble algae off, and one of the little guys was on the bottom of the rock! He has developed some color, standard black and white, and is twice his original size. Pretty stoked he made it. Also removed two little bristle worms.

I was gonna snap a pic, but was rinsing with ro/di and wanted to get him hack in the tank quickly.
