really large mini Brittle star???

[dad300]

Recently i have seen a very large set of brittle star letgs come out from one of my rocks. in the area of 3-4 inches long. all the other brittle stars that I have are in the area of a inch maybe??? 2 inches.

the markings in it are very similar to my other ones ..tan/white with black stripes. is it possible that I have a small sepent star? or do I ahve mutant in the tank?!!

that sounds normal to me. I have a bunch of those guys with their legs sticking out of the rocks. tan, black stripes. I also have some red with silver stripes I think.. I am pretty sure mine came in on my florida rock and sand.

There are huge brittle star's out there. We just normally see the little one's all over our tank's. I have seen the small one's get up to about 2 1/2 inches across...

There is such a thing as a (non-mini) brittle star. I'd say you've got some of those. Nothing to worry about.
