I just bought 2 pieces of live rock, and they each have at least one brittle star in them. From the size of the tentacles I saw, the brittle stars are about 1-3 inches across total.
Will these grow bigger and end up eating my 2 ocellaris clownfish? I just want to try to prevent a problem later down the road. Right now the 2 pieces of live rock are in a separate tank.
Can anyone recommend a way to get the brittle stars out? Last night I did a 5-minute dip in a solution of Lugol's Solution and Flatworm Exit, and I read that it was supposed to kill the brittle stars, but it clearly didn't.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
