Unknown starfish

[Cleveland Clowns]

This AM i looked into my refugium and noticed this starfish in my return chamber. I cant get a good pic yet but its about a half dollar in diameter, 6 long skinny legs, brownish, and moves very fast..Any ideas

I think its a brittle that hitchhiked its way in from the LV or LS.

Does it look like this? If so I believe you have a reticulate brittle star. We have about 4 of them that hitchhiked. I think they are neat.

Yep thats it.. He is close to my return pump and im trying to save him before he goes for a ride.
