So i found this in my aquarium this morning (during lights out period) it seems to move relatively fast. I got it off the sand and put it on the glass so i could get a decent picture. I couldn't get it's back side, but here is the bottom. Is this good or bad? I thought it was a brittle starfish, but it has 6 legs and i thought brittles only have 5? anyone know what this is?   |

I find small brittle stars in a lot of people's tanks and I think they are beneficial and I would just enjoy the little guys! As for the 6 legs that happens some what regularly with starfish. ------------- What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing! |

Awesome shot!
It is a mini brittle star and they are good to have.
