Starfish or critter

[ufeelingus]

Just got a coral shipment and found this in one of the bags… Good to keep? Anyone know what this is?

Good - bonus! Looks like a small bristle banded starfish! They will spend most of the time in the rocks (unseen), but are great scavengers and fairly peaceful (I have 4 in my tank).

Micro brittle star. They don’t get much bigger than a quarter, but are definitely good guys

Could be a micro brittle star or a serpent starfish which can have similar markings.

Great find . They will scavenge and rarely ever be seen other than a tentacle or two sticking out of the rocks
