Brittle Starfish Question

We got a Brittle Starfish two or three weeks ago (actually was a hitchker) 2" or 3" in diameter. We have not seen it since the first day can it be that good a hider. We have lots of LR with caves and Crevices?

Thank you
Shelley

Yes they can be. I have a serpent star fish that I am lucky to see a couple of times a year. When I moved 2+ years ago I was shocked to see it, I had assumed that it had died.

BTW -- what color is it?

Good, if it was green I would have been a bit concerned, IME, the green ones will eat fish.
