Okay, inside of our glass is full of these tiny whit spots. If you look real close they look like they have five to six arms. But they are translucent to say the least. The very least.

Here's a pic.

Going to watch them through the day to see if they are moving.

The brittle stars, how do the reproduce? They don't spawn out into the water column do they?

We don't have them in the big tank.

I'm no expert but if I'm right, they are a nuisance stars and if I'm right I've heard people buying Harlequin Shrimp to help get rid of them. I don't think they do any harm though.

Yep hydroids. Guess it's not a big deal. Was hoping for brittles.
