I added a new rock with some corals to my tank and while watching the tank today noticed that either a brittle or a serpent star had hitchhiked a ride. The star is about the size of a nickel if all of the legs were pulled straight out. I tried to catch the little bugger but it was on the back of the aquarium and I didnt have much luck getting ahold of it.
If I remember correctly brittle stars are not safe for reef aquariums (although I think I heard that serpent stars are safe). Is this accurate? What should I be watching for in terms of damage? Anyone know any tricks to catching the little bugger and getting him out of there?
