baby brittle starfish

[madhattertcm]

I was buying a few blue leg hermit crabs, and asked for a few extra shells. In one of the shells apparently was what appears to be a blue brittle starfish. It's tiny. Maybe an inch long total. Should I do anything to keep it surviving in my tank? I only have a few hermits, turbos, a full sized brittle star, and a damsel. Do you think they'll leave it alone?

It should be fine. They are very common hitch hikers. I bet you have a lot in your live rock that you've never seen (you'll usually only see their little arms sticking out, waving around).
