It's a brittle starfish and is pretty good at helping to clean up the hard to get at areas of your tank. Was it a "hitchhiker"?

 

[aquadummy]

no i purchased him at the LFS, he comes out when the lights are out sometimes and moves around, pretty quick little bugger. Isn't "brittle" a general category of starfish? Is there a more specific name for him?

Starfish: Saltwater Sea Stars, Brittle Starfish and Red Sea Star

[melosu58]

Which one did you conclude it was?

 

[aquadummy]

Brittle Sea Star, Knobby Fancy
(Ophiomastix annulosa)

p.s. his name is Patrick. I put him in timeout because i think he ate Blenny1

Do you have fresh water plants in there? From pics looks like fresh water. But nice, very nice.

I don't think it ate your blenny unless it was already dead.
