Hey all....quick question........I just brought home about 5 more corals. A couple of star polyp rocks, a pulsing zenia, and a couple of acropora frags.

The question is, there is a very very small starfish in one of the bags with the star polyps.

I know, I know......POST PICS.....well I would if I could, but this guy is really small. Maybe 2mm with legs. It almost looks like a tiny serpent star. It is whitish with some dark dots on the body part. It definately has longer legs.

Just wondering if I should dump him in, or not......any help on this would be great.

Thanks !!

sounds like a miniature brittle star. These are beneficial, and actually come with some detritivore kits. I'd keep him.
