Red Brittle Star. First noticed when he was about 4 inches, leg tip to leg tip. Now about 12 inches. Detrivore--staked out this rock and has been pretty close to it for about 6 months now. Quite a shock to discoved--picked up a rock, felt something prickly wriggling on the bottom--almost dropped it!
Here's some more. I pretty much had to black out the room to get him to come out of the LR. A red scarlett crab just passed him and he did nothing, he just pics at the LR.
Sorry but, that looks like a green brittlestar and when he gets bigger he is going to start to eat your fish.............
I hate being a pest, but this is a great thread, but there's some replies that are so old the pictures are no longer there. Can we get it cleaned up some?
