brittle star had lots of babies

[bolt696]

Hi,

I was changing out some filter pads today and found a little more than a dozen 3/4 inch brittle stars hanging on.


Any advice on keeping them alive, or just let nature take its course. My tank is a 37gallon nano, so i can't keep them if they grow down the road.

I would guess there are more as I now see lots of legs coming out of the rock work.

thanks.

They are probably just mini brittles and wont grow much bigger than a nickle anyways. If you see a few there are probably a lot more. They will just scavenge your tank looking for leftovers. Quite benificial creatures actually.

I agree with dalston, a great addition to any tank!
