@KIRBLIT are there different names for different colors or are they all the same mine is dark grey and black

I don't think so, just mini brittle stars. I have most black/gray and some that are reddish brown. Most of them get about silver dollar size when they are all stretched out with legs when fully grown that I have seen. I have literally thousands of them. I have to remove 50-100 of them every week out of my filter socks, mostly about dime size.
