Good or bad hitchhiker?

It never ceases to amaze me at how even after doing this for over 2 years I can always find something in my tank I didn't put in lol.

Never seen this before kinda looked like a starfish of some sorts but with only 3 legs

It's just a regular starfish that lost some legs. I've seen that many times in my tanks. For the most part I think they are ok, but I usually remove them just to be safe.

Ok that's what I thought it was but wasn't sure

It's a star. I have them in my tank and don't fret over them.

Looks like an astarina. Usually when I see them with less than 5 legs they have split babies somewhere.

Does that one have a reddish tint to it?

Red=Bad
Tan=Good

 

[superclown]

It was tan not red

I was just looking at my tank and saw a two legged one that looks like a boomerang.

Thats cool lol. woulda made a great photo. so bod not to change the subject but are you breeding clowns anymore I know last time we talked you were downsizing some stuff

When I took down the 120G I sold my adult pair of Black & Whites but kept a pair from their offspring. I also have a pair of Onyx from JJOcean. Right now the largest B&W and the largest Onyx seem to have paired up and have been regularly cleaning an area of the rocks so I'm hoping they will actually become a breeding pair. If they do, I will definitely raise their young to see what they look like.

That's cool I will keep my eye out for a breed record

last months meeting they said blue ones were bad. I have greyish ones. I've never seen mine bothering anything.

It is an asterina starfish. They are good in that they don't harm anything you will want to keep in your aquarium.
