This little guy must have come home on my live rock, but I just saw him for the first time on Friday evening. He is living in a cave in the rock and came out for the first time when I was feeding my corals. Now that I know where he lives I sometimes see one or two legs hanging out of his cave, but haven't seen him all of the way out again. He is bigger than the end of your pinkie.....probably 3/4" to an 1" and a off white to tan in color. I thought he was probably a baby brittle star, but because he is still so small the coloration does not resemble anything in my invertebrate book. My SIL thinks he may be a serpent star since he is living in the rock rather than in the sand or closer to the bottom. I was hoping someone may be more familiar with this species and help me identify the little guy. I want to make sure that he is getting everything that he needs in the way of care.
Thanks a million!
