Name that critter
I am drip acclimating some new corals I got today and this little guy was on them.
It looks like a little Brittle Star to me but I don't know much about these kind of critters (I only knew that GSEclipse's little Asterinas sold online 6 for 20 bucks because I actually wanted to buy some...)
So is it a little brittle star and can I keep it? Or is there something dangerous about it?

+1 for keeping it!

You've got the better looking variety. Much cooler looking than the plain white/gray variety in my tank for the longest time. Definitely a keeper.
