Ever hear of a dwarf serpant starfish
I've added nothing new recently to my tank but during a water change the other day I found a tiny serpant star almost the size of a dime. Someone said it was probably a dwarf. I've never had a serpant before in my tank and wonder if this little guy has been here and I just never saw him because he is a dwarf. I like him, he's cute.
