some sort of star. I cant tell how big the pic is, but if its a really zoomed in pic, its probably just some micro star, or if it is a farther back pic it could be a brittle star.

Great! I have to have close to 20 of these things! I was moving some rock in my tank they were hiding in the bottom.

Stars like these are cool and good for your tank.
Do you have a wrasse?

How big is it?

I have quite a few, most of them are fairly small and they like to hide inside the rock, so they are small. I would say a few of the bigger ones may be around a 1/2 an inch though. The pic is of a rock I pulled out of the water maybe 6 inches from the camera.

I figured they were the micro ones.. I am glad to hear they arent bad. I still need to verify the worms I have are ok.. I have had this rock for 2+ years but I just rebuilt my tank and am looking at wanting to add coral now that I have some better lighting.
