brittle sea star hitch-hiker?

[hatfielj]

I got a frag of bird's nest today and when I got it home I noticed that I had a nice little brittle sea star hanging on to the bottom of the rock. Are these guys good to have in the tank or can they cause any problems? I was quite excited to have gotten such a neat little creature for free, but I just wanted to make sure its not a bad one.

They are fine. Its always cool to find new stuff in the tank. My wife always asks why I have my face so close to the glass.

What color is it? Green ones are not good.

It is fine. They are commonly associated with corals and will not harm it.
