It kinda looks like a star with little fuzzy hairs stickin up all over it
Dead middle of the pics
Was fragging a polyp and he came out of the rock I believe

Looks like a brittle star to me

 

[Rich440]

Are they ok to have in my tank?
Do they effect the coral or fish?

 

[Rich440]

It has 6 tennicals
3 long 3 short
Which doesn't sound right lol

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Ya that seems wierd... And yep totally reef safe. Maybe some of his legs were cut off somehow, they will grow back

 

[Rich440]

Thx man
This forum is by far the best help I could ask for lol

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

No problem i definitly agree!

Oh yeah, that's a micro brittle star! If you see one, you have at least a dozen. Perfectly harmless, rather beneficial. They feed on stuff too small to see. The arms are different lengths because they are, well, brittle. They break easily.
The only way I know of for them to cause any problems at all is if they annoy polyps such as zoas with their constant arm waving.
Population is limited only by available food and predation.

Thanks for the info Mac
I do have a few polyps in the tank which hopefully are fine

 

[MacDracor]

It's extremely unlikely they'd do any actual harm. More like a minor annoyance to the polyps. As a general rule, I ignore these guys.

Looks like a serpent star to me.
