Is it a worm or mini bristlestar ?

jjflounder1 · Jul 16, 2018

I have at least 3 in my rockwork ...
I started with Nature's ocean dry Rock ...

It's a 72 gallon bowfront up and running about 10 months ....

Fish World treated with safety stop and quarantined ...
I did get many bristle worms from a bad batch of chaetomorpha .... [emoji21]

Could be the arm of a brittle or serpent star

Could have been. There are many ways little creatures make it into our tanks

Do they come out of the rock ... Move around the tank ... Or just live in "their little hole " ?

Welcome! Brittle stars. Love these guys, I have 20+ in my tank. They usually just dangle their legs out to catch food. Sometimes they go for little walks.
