Yea, sometimes they are called brittle stars, and some
times they are call serpent. They are like half way
between. They are a risk to a reef tank.

Yep, that's the creature.

Hm, I have a 12" version of this critter that came with the tank. I
knew it was a brittle star, but I couldn't nail down the exact type. I
feed it a chunk of shrimp now and then.

I also have two missing yellow tail damsils. Not that i care about
them, but I'm thinking this guy is the culprit as they liked to hide and
sleep in the crevices. Seems like I've been removing lots of animals
lately.
