I just got a coral from another Marsh member...before I did my dipping I saw this little guy (see picture).

First off: Is this a brittle star?
Second: Should I keep it or not? I read brittles can be OK, but more risky when they get bigger...Just want to know opinions.

Those are the mini stars, probably won't get bigger than 2" across the ends of the tentacles . I have probably 100+ of them in my tank.
