Default baby brittle stars

I don't know how I managed to see them, but I did. All hanging out on the glass on my kid's tank. I am betting they will become fish food, but has anyone had success with these guys?

Becky,

They seem to come and go in my tanks, I believe they stay small and just catch small particles and stuff

Yeah it is too early to tell, I did a little reading, could very well be microstars.

I have tons of these guys and its said to be a good sign that a tank is well taken care of and balanced. Mine are just what I've seen called micro stars and they never get bigger. However, they do wave to me everytime I feed the tank, from crevices all over the tank they slide out a couple of arms to filter in their dinner, there are also tons of them in the sandbed. Good for you, a new cool critter!
