Is anyone able to ID this star for me? It crawled out of a torch that I had dipped when I brought it home. I'm thinking it's some sort of brittle, but not sure if it is good or bad. He's chilling in my QT. Sorry for the blurriness, Iphone pic.

Is it normal for it to have 8 legs?

I have a ton of theses in my tank and have had no problems. I have so many that when I clean my filter socks there is usually up to 100 of them in the socks so I flip some into my other tank my blue spot puffer loves them.

Cheers,ryan

And I can't find any to purchase. No idea where to get them.

You can purchase the big ones but small ones are only available as hitchhickers.

I've only heard of the green ones being predatory towards fish. I've personally never seen one that particular color though so can't say for sure.

If more of these little dudes pop up in my tank, you can have them!

Brittle stars are a common hitchhiker on live rock and coral most are relatively harmless and a good CUC
