I got a nice surprise when I purchased a chunk of cheato from my LFS last night. I saw a small brittle star moving through it. I have the cheato in my tank in a breeder net to keep the tang away from it. I will be putting in some live sand, live rubble and the cheato in later today. Hopefully, all goes well.

good luck, 'fuges are great! it's amazing all the life you get in them, soon enough you'll have hundreds of micro brittle stars like me

The micro star should multiple nicely. You can even place a couple in your main tank to start a large colony. They are awesome cleanup crew members. And cute!

I hope so! Plus my mandarin won't have to rely on pellets when I get my copepods going.

I had a salt tank back in the mid-eighties but have kept freshwater ever since. I'm so glad I got back into the salt side of things. With all the inverts, live rock and better equipment, it's a blast.
