yup thats them I also have these, Our rock came from the same source. What is it?

[kennyman]

As best as I can tell they are "Micro Serpent Stars". They don't grow much bigger than a nickle and do not hurt anyone.

[char0434]

yeah thats exactly them! micro stars eh hmm thats pretty awesome. maybe the ones u have found scott have just come out of hiding?

[angelfreak]

no I have mini stars as well there different

[kennyman]

Yea the mini stars tend to look like blop. I had a picture of one in the forum here a short while ago. But these little serpent stars have a tiny body with long skinny leggs. I found a lot of FAq posts about people thinking they were baby serpent stars but the powers-that-be say many of the 2000 or so speices of serpent stars are tiny little doods like the one in my photo.

[Vallely4]

Hmm! very neat i've got one little guy like yours angelfreak in my tank.
Can't see everything from your pic, but mine's an orange-reddish star, 6legged
He came along on a frag into my tank.

[char0434]

You guys are soooo lucky! I want a sand sifting star.

I don't know if my brain is playing tricks on me but I could have sworn that the original post was about aiptasia. That's why I recommended peppermint shrimp.

What you describe is tiny serpent stars (or other related stars). They are OK to have in your tank. I introduced 3-4 of them which were really small, less than 1/4". I now have tons of them everywhere in my tank. Some of them are over 2" long.

[char0434]

lol that was my other post "WHATS THIS??"

buy yeah, i guess thats what we got, becasue there are literally tons of them.

[char0434]

Whats that not this

[AdamN]

yup, they are stars, I have found tons of them in my tank over the months.
