I'm happy to give away but how to catch them so tiny small and always hiding in hole?

Not sure if it will work, but you could try placing a plastic container next to the whole but lower. See if they will fall in when they come out at night.

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

It is not so easy to catch a brittle star because they are so small and can easily be hide in small places. So try another tricjk like the mate tell you about placing the jar in front of the hole and turn off the light. Hope some of them will drop into the jar so thatyou can easily catch them.

Unless they're large and green, no need to worry. Those may eat fish but the rest will not harm anything in the tank. If you really want to get rid of them, need to look for underlying cause. Scavengers don't just magically spawn all over your tank unless there is mass die-off from cycling or you're just feeding too much. If you get rid of good scavengers, something else will take its place. Maybe some nice, brown diatoms covering every square inch.
