They grow fast or mine just did.. doubled its size in 3 weeks. Also Its nacturnal. I read that the salinity is a very large factor on keeping your brittle star happy. Keep the salinity stable and give him plenty of room to grow!

Hope it's not the green one.They get big and eat your fish and others!
