I'm blown away. I've never seen a star fish other than little asterina stars in my tank.
So the other day I bought a half dollar sized chunk of monti cap unattached , 3 peppermint shrimp and a little zoa that was unattached to anything.
Brought them home and got them in my quarantine tank.
I brought some lr from my tank over that has some aiptasia on it for the peppermints. Tonight, there is what I believe is a small brittle star on my glass with lights out.
I guess it may have somehow come in on the bottom of that monti and just not moved at all.
I haven't added anything to my main tank for at least a year. Nothing at all except water.
Then this little guy just shows up out of nowhere.
Also within the last 4 months I got a hefty looking macro algae that started growing in my dt. Somehow competing with my scrubber. It looks like a fat cactus kinda.
I let it grow a bit since it was kinda cool looking. Just have no clue how it got there without any introduction to the tank.
Saltwaters little surprises.
