    K to keep this going, i want to add that I see these coming out of 3 different rivals now. I want to know why they don't come out of the rock ever. And..... do those brittle stars multiply like that? Why am I seeing so many now???

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The tiny micro brittle stars tend to keep the main body portion hidden in the rock with only the legs sticking out, once in awhile you see them out and about but they mostly remain hidden. Sometimes a water change resulting in changes in water chemistry, like alk and sg swings will cause them to come out of the rock and spawn all at one time.

    Still no pics. :-(
