Help ID this starfish

[FionaFiona]

HI guys,

Can help me ID this star fish? ( or izzit a starfish at all?) I found it on my seafan (blue sakura look-alike). Think its a hitchhiker. Is it reef safe? Will it attack / eat my seafan?

Thanks!

This is tiny tiny 6-arm brittle star; OPHIOTHELA DANAE (Family OPHIOTRICHIDAE).

It reproduces it self asexually by dividing itself across the disc; so it is common to find several specimens with partially regenerate arms or disc. This species is common in the Western Indian Ocean. In Singapore, you can find this at Pulau Tekong and St. John Isle. (David J.W. Lane, 2003, pp.98).

Reef safe or not, I dunno. This weekend i drop by ur place again to see lor.
