Opinions on mini Brittlestars

[Nano]

Recently acquired about 6 the size of a quarter hiding in a frag I purchased I noticed when I dumped them in to my acclimating tup, the reason I am posting is cause I see mixed feelings/opinions on these guys, and currently have them "Sumped".

I personally would like to toss 2-3 in the DT for detritus duty, and leave the others in the sump for the same purpose. I have read they are great detritus eaters, and also help aerate the sand bed in a more naturally delicate fashion. I have never noticed brittlestars in any one my tanks, but figured I would risk them in the sump for now until I find out more on them.

Any knowledge/opinions (good or bad) swing them my way please

Thanks all

I have a ton of them too hidden in the rocks and under my corals.. I've never seen one in the sanded tho.

I love feed my tank because the rocks come alive with millions of little arms sticking out trying to grab food. Brittle stars are awesome!

I didnt think there was anything bad about them, but heard a few places that they can irritate corals?

I went looking to get them in my tank
