Hi,

Just doing a water change
and I've seen this starfish. Please can you tell me if it's good or bad?

Many thanks, Steve

micro brittle star! He should be great for your tank! They are amazing. They will breed very fast, won't harm a thing, will clean every inch of your tank, and only get to be 2" max.

They are nocturnal. You need a flashlight after lights out.

If you found one, you probably have hundreds. Or thousands. Or millions lol.

Ever dropped a sinking pellet on one of your rocks after lights out? If I do this, hundreds of tiny little arms come out everywhere. They also reach out and high 5 snails as they go by.

Just one piece of a complete tank ecosystem.
