The LFS here in cleveland has some pink brittle stars in. Does anyone know if the pinks are safe to keep. I know the emerald green brittle stars will eat fish but I am not sure about the pink ones. I know several people that keep the brownish grey brittle stars and they are good for eating detritus and small particles of food. Anyone with any experience with the critters???

A week ago we broke down chris's tank and he had 10-20 orangish pink brittle stars throughout his tank.

I don't know if its the exact same thing but they semed to be doing just fine in his 125 reef if it is.
