I'm so exctied today. I've been seeing baby brittle stars in my reef tank for a couple of months now but I figured they weren't making it cause I don't know what the specifics of what they need are and I haven't been doing anything special. Well today when I was feeding I saw one that was about three inches total span. He was eating the food and has little black strips. I have about six adult brittle stars that I got at the lfs and they're all different so I'm very curious to see how this one turns out. Hopefully he gets big and becomes an adult. I think now that I saw him eating he stands a decent chance. Has anybody else had any brittle stars born in their tank? Did they make it to adult hood? If anyone has any tips they would be very appreciated. I'm guessing he just started scavenging right away and probably liked all the coral food I put in there. :D
