There are mine brittle starfish. They are beneficial, they are mostly nocturnal. They will eat left over food and detritus. ]]> Fri, 16 May 2014 16:32:26 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71374&PID=565564&title=need-help-identifying-this-starfish#565564 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71374&PID=565562&title=need-help-identifying-this-starfish#565562 Author: ReefdUp

Just your ordinary mini brittle starfish (can't tell you the species name). They're harmless and are quite beneficial as part of a clean-up crew. It probably won't get much bigger.]]> Fri, 16 May 2014 16:08:11 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71374&PID=565562&title=need-help-identifying-this-starfish#565562 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71374&PID=565561&title=need-help-identifying-this-starfish#565561 Author: JBlaze31

I purchased some live Fiji rock today, and located a little hitch hiker.  I am trying to identify this little guy.  It is no bigger than the size of a dime to a quarter with all 5 legs stretched out.  It is dark colored with white bands running down each extremity.  I believe he falls into the category of a brittle starfish but can not place a type.  Does anyone have any knowledge or can you tell me if this is a good or bad guy to have in the tank?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
