Saltfishlover Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 So I've noticed over the last few days the mini brittle stars (hitchhikers) are coming out more often during the day. Is this common? I know they are usually nocturnal animals. Is my water going bad for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if it’s near feeding time that you’re seeing them? Alternatively, there’s a possibility you could be witnessing a spawning event. Otherwise, they’re pretty hardy, I would expect other inverts to show signs of doom and despair before them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxkenny90xx Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Yes I wouldn't worry about it, they're just hungry! It's always fun spotting them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
