I believe you are talking about the Asterina stars:

LOL - yes, what she said! When the power went out and the wife went hunting to find if everything was okay, she came across a massive mini Brittle.

What's interesting is that as time is going on, more and MORE are reproducing, so obviously there is enough food getting to them in order to reproduce - I did lose one that I saw, which my urchin took care of (weird) but that was due to it being stuck in between the suction cup and the side of the tank

I'm happy to share the wealth with these lil'uns, pm me if you're interested in picking a few up, and then we can go fishing!!
