[carlo80]

A couple of days a go i bought a new gorgonian, when i put it in my tank i notest there are some( 8 /10)little brittle stars on it..
I seen this befor on another gorgonian, but not in this kind of nummbers.
Is this a good thing or ' bad '??

I don't think they'll harm anything. they may steal food, but nothing that'll starve the host coral. if they over populate the coral, perhaps remove a few. I would love to get some of these brittle starfish someday.
