Nancymacc Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I bought this rock covered in mushrooms at the Barrier Reef sale last week. Saturday night we thought we saw something under one of the mushrooms.... Earlier today this guy poked out til I could see just the edge of his center, I would guess that leg is about 2" long. I am pretty sure it is a brittle star but I have only seen one leg. In the pic his is trying to nab a mysis shrimp. Nice bonus with my coral!!

kschaefers Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ya I got some corals a few weeks back and a couple days later I saw the same thing, now they are in several different places, also found a bristle worm who doesn't come out much but I may try to catch him if it gets any bigger, the things you don't pay for are some of the coolest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
