Star ID?

[CyboRob]

Is this a brittle star? It has only 3 legs and is very small. Stretched out maybe the size of a nickel or a bit bigger.

Tank is 40 days old today with only a handful of snails and a scarlet crab, so this is a pleasant surprise.

My guess would be a Brittle (Baby), I got a couple that I never see all of them, just the legs sticking out of a hole...

Anyone know what kind of brittle star? Three legs, purple and white stripped.
Is it going to grow 2 more legs? Most I've seen have 5 legs.

[rodgod20]

it will grow back 2 legs....probably lost them some how

[CyboRob]

Sounds good then.


Thanks
