tiny brittle stars

[12gallonbaby]

i just noticed that i have these little guys all around my tank. they are about 1/2 inch in size and i cant get a decent pic cuz they never leave the rocks. my question is can they hurt clams? they havent touched any of my corals but my corcea is in a shell and i dont want them to get in it and under his foot. any help would be nice.

they are fine, we all have them, they are just so small most people don't see them.

they are actually good for your tank, part of your clean up crew, I wouldn't buy any emerald crabs though, I have cought them flipping my clams and eating them from the foot

Another for we all have them. When I feed hundreds of baby arms are waving at me kinda neet

Check you tank at night. Every now and then one will pop out fully, flitting across the tank in search of food or another hiding place.
