maybe brittlestar?

[beeholtz]

i had a hitchhiker, i flipped over a rock today during a water change and happened to see a starfish, size close to a silver dollar, very skinny arms, do you think it could be a brittle star, and are they good to have in a reef aquarium, i have zoas and mushrooms although im sure they are detrivores and algal grazers like most others, i couldnt get a pic because he crawled into a crevice after a few seconds and i wanted to get a look before id probably never see it again

Here's a shot with a brittle and serpent star's legs. Brittle is prickly, serpent smooth.

i have bristleworms and thats what i thought it was at first but it was def a seastar of some kind had the body w/ legs, and it is definately a brittle star because it had the hairy looking arms like a bristleworm, thanks for the help austinsdad and sadie
