    Those mini-brittle stars are normal cleanup crew. They won't get any bigger. You'll occasionally see them waving their arms out to try to snag food.

    Check them out at night, that normally when they come out.

    I had a few white ones in my tank and the rest a dark brown/black color. My 6line would go to town on eating the white ones. Pretty sure they are harmless and they never really got any bigger.
