What the heck

[Paulie069]

I seem to have found this creepy little guy in my tank which I believe came from a large patch of GSP I got a couple of weeks ago when I first put it in the tank and I saw this thing run from underneath it across the bottom of my tank I thought maybe I was seeing things from too much oregano well today I was cleaning my refusion a little bit using a mesh net swirling around catching all the crap blah blah blah and I found this weird critter again. My friend told me when I sent him a picture of it that it is a micro Bristol star he goes good find I’m sorry but what is good about this alien looking thing anybody know out there in R2R land

Micro brittle star

 

[HOOPDEEZ]

He is right, micro brittle star, and it is a detrivore and a good clean up crew member

 

[Auquanut]

Put him back! Put him back!

 

[Paulie069]

Put him back! Put him back!

So that is the general consensus I should put them back in because it’s creepy and I just wanna make sure it’s OK

Good guy. Keep.

 

[Auquanut]

You won't see them much. An arm reaching for food from time to time.

I took mine out. People love them and they look cool moving around. I had a tank with hundreds but I tried to avoid all hitchhikers on my last upgrade. Now I have a bunch of bristle worms. I would have chose brittle stars over worms given the chance.

I found one in a dip once and put it back in. Never seen it again. I assume he’s working behind the scenes. Always good to have janitors.

Any idea of what kind of nudi that is? So eloquent

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Can't see in picture, but back side is purple, whole body is pearly white, antennas light green. Never seen one like it

 

[jeffchapok]

I'd gladly take either one of those critters.
