Looks like possibly a micro-brittle star, but can’t confirm 100% with these pics alone.

 

[TnFishwater98]

Do you have other micro-brittlestars to compare it to?

? Hurt…No..Great if not the best IMO CUC….

But need to verify. Put some flake food or something smelly and see how it reacts.

You can dip the Acan and it will come out. It won’t kill it. Just put him in a fresh cup of tank water when you get him. Then throw it back in your tank. Also can take Acan off plug and see what’s lurking. But almost certain Micro-brittle.

Cool looking micro-brittle. Different than mine.

Way more than pictured! Those pics are when I added a HOB small ‘Refugium/breeding hotel’ for pods/Micro -bristles/& yes bristleworms made it in.

Saw a massive load of them one night! Lol I think they were throwing a party. Most of the time you just see their arms reaching out of LR cleaning your water….

But the species you have looks very interesting…Maybe we can swap species in the near future.
