Another weird critter

[TheyCallMeButch]

So these were the best pictures. I've found two of them hiding in Chaeto in my refugium and my secondary tank for copepods.

I'd describe them as a squid looking bug with a lot of tiny little tentacles. Any ideas on what it is?

Take it out and put it in a shallow saucer of water, then snap a pic. No matter what it is, it's not hurting anything in the refugium.

it's hard to see in your picture , but than you said squid like and this is what came to mind , do they look like either of these 2 picts , the first pict is a baby serpent star , the second pict is a baby brittle star ,
if they look like either of these 2 picts they are harmless ,
if neither of these match get a better pict for a better Id

When I find him again I will do so and get more pictures. It's definitely not either of them. I can identify those guys pretty well.

I would have said the same thing, except for all of those tentacles. I once had a swimming anemone in my sump. It didn't look like this, but it had many tentacles and a brown body.
Here he was....
