Brittle star or worm?

[Beengirl]

I saw these very very small white tubes (arms??) sticking out of a rock. There were 2, now 3. They're not coming from under a rock, just from a very tiny crevice in The rock. Are these the arms of a brittle star or some kind of worm? I zoomed in for the pic, thats why the zoa head looks huge. Lol. They are very tiny.

Btw, the white tubes have a few thin black lines on them.

Looks like brittle starfish arms to me.

That's what I was thinking!! Just wanted a confirmation. Lol. So I actually got a cool hitchhiker with my LR!! The only other hitchhiker I've seen so far was a small bristle worm. That star must be itty bitty to be in a tiny crevice like that! The arms are actually coming out 3 separate tiny holes. Cool!!

Here's a few pics of some of the ones I got. Mine are purple though, your pic they look like they are white. Sorry for the iPhone pics tho lol.

You have several it looks like! Lucky! Yeah, its annoying that the iPhone pics aren't better. That's what I have too.

Ya when I feed the corals I get so many arms poking out I can't even count them all. Hard to take a pic then cuz water gets murky and the phone has a hard time focusing lol.
