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.
