I was looking at my tank the other night with my wife and a friend of ours who got us interested in SW tanks. My wife was saying that she thought that we had a HH or something. Our friend then pointed out that we had a Brittle star come home with us from our LFS. It is still hiding under the coral that we purchased. I have been trying to get a good picture of him but he is hiding really well.

Just wanted to let people know, because I was excited.
If I can get a good pic, I will post it.
Right now all we see are legs and they are extremely thin, so we know he isn't a big guy.

Also, is there anything special that I need to be doing in order to keep him alive?
 
Thats the cool part about getting live rock.!! :)
No worries, he will scavenge around the tank and get what he need.
 
Live rock is great! Keep your eyes out for more. I have counded about two dozon brittle stars at once in my tank. They just keep coming.
