Is this hitchhiker a good starfish or a bad critter?

[PhilM]

This hitchhiker came in with a shipment or coral frags today. Is it a beneficial, young starfish or a bad critter. I'm keeping it separate until I get some advice.

Thanks in advance, Philip

That looks like a brittle star. They are generally accepted to be a positive addition to most reef tanks.

Micro brittle. Reef safe. Good scavenger.

Agree . Brittle, a keeper.

Thanks all. Put it in my DT and it slithered into the darkness. Saw it moving around again early this morning when I was doing a check for another nocturnal. Nice to have a good hitchhiker.
