Out brake of small brittle stars

[boots]

Hi everyone.
I have a boatload of small brittle stars in my tank that don't
Seem to get any bigger than a dime. Are they going to be a
Problem and if so how do I ride my tank of them.

you like to cook turkey? a 2nd turkey baster works quite well.

Are you meaning sucking them out with a turky baster.
All I can see of them is their legs. Will it suck them from the rock?

Over feeding?

They will wax and wane with the availability of food

Their numbers will reduce over time if you start feeding less. Don't try to manually remove them. You'll only add stress to your life.

Oh and they are harmless. In fact these little stars make up almost all of my cleanup crew.
