Huge brittle star

[stang69]

Wanted to share that Pattie (Mrs Stang69) Was resetting her LR and she seen the brittle star we have had for approx 4 months when we got him or her it had approx. 2 inch legs and man when we seen it tonight it had legs 8 inches long I was blown away. I ran to get the camera but to no avail. It had already went into hiding again. So On to the point. Pattie had some LR and shrooms in a bowl and when she returned them to the tank. Guess what she found? She found 2 babies with legs only about 1/2 inch long so I guess that makes us grandparents huh. Anyway thanks for reading

wow thats really cool.....its odd that your bstar is so shy because mine.....never ever leaves view.....he stays in the top corner of my tank next to a ph because he always manages to grab a peice of brine shrimp flake up there.....he's a crafty little fella.....what color is yours?

She or he is brown and has a body about the size of a dime and the rest is all legs. This one spends most time in the LR cuz all we usually see is legs.
