Default Hitchhiker Starfish?

Whilst floating one of the baggies with the Kenya Tree from teh swap, I noticed some movement. Inside was a tiny starfish or brittle star. Hard to tell for sure as its tiny. It has a little black body and white arms.

Not sure if he rode along on a tree or what. But he's been released into my tank. Hopeing to see him in the future a bit bigger.....

Any of you guys from Vic have a thought where he came from and what he may be?

Come on fess up. Who's the daddy?? lol

Kenyan trees were from TNTCanada (I believe), but they are good hitchhikers so now you owe him (jk) They're fun and harmless to have in the tank. I see mine but usually only as some little black & white arms sticking out of my LR. Got lots of them & they add to the biodiversity.

PS. thanks for being our driver
