:eyeblur: thats 1 of the biggest i seen. they move very fast right :eyebrow:

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

yah. the small ones are fast. this giant one is fast for its size.

when i first got it, it did not like coming out because it was afraid of the light. so i did not see it for the longest time. only the legs. one fine day it developed the resistance to light and ta da. giant. that was the first time i saw it in months and its has been growing since.

yup! bought it when it was quite smallish. now its a gigantor. novelty piece. haha. strong enough to topple corals this one.

Brittle stars are insanely hardy.. I have one serpent star and one brittle that has been in my tank since the start. Very useful also, eats all the debris so no need to feed.

mm hmm. super hardy.
