Looking for Mini Brittle Stars and worms

Ritchie G · Nov 4, 2023

Looking for somewhere to buy some Mini brittle Stars, Bristle worms and Spaghetti worms. I want to get some more diversity in my 50 gal FOWLR tank. The only place i see that sells them is IPSF but their prices for just those seem a bit high. Anywhere else i could get them from? Thanks

I've never asked my LFS but would start there.
Local reefer would be better but I get that can be tough (to find).

I see micro brittle stars (often) and bristle worms (occasionally) being sold on eBay but proceed with caution there.
*maybe short QT just for "depuration" as I hear it called

Thanks. I live in Alabama and there is not a local fish store near me. I pretty much have to have everything shipped.

Folks With filter socks can often collect large volumes of mini brittles.
