Brittle star spawed!!!!!!!!
After coming back home today, I noticed that my brittle star pulled out the feather duster out of the substrate and was wrapping its legs around it :| I was like WTH!!! I was thinking of taking the star out because it was growing too big and too ugly for my tank and now I had the excuse to actually take it out. So tried to grab it but in the first attempt, a part of its leg came off :| Afterwards, I was able to pull it out of the tank. When I turned on the light to check whether everything is alright, I saw the whole tank filled with mucus :O I tried to clean it manually as much as I can but I am pretty sure there are some of those mucus left (very sticky). So I guess it spawned!
Now I am even more worried since I really don't want hundreds of these ugly stars in my tank :| What should I do? Do a big water change? I really don't want any more brittle star! The one I had didn't do anything to be honest :| |

I'm. It sure how they reproduce, so I can't make any recommendations there.
A big water change would be in order, I think. Do you run carbon? |

Not sure their legs just pull off that easily, sounds more like it's dying and fouling the tank.

The pull was quite hard on the leg since it was attached itself to a rock. After pulling out the leg, the bugger showed its disk and I quickly grabbed it by the disk.

Could be dead too or dying, I know when they die they turn to goo pretty quick. Like a white bodily fluid looking goo sick..
