Bristle Star Fish?

He just popped up this morning, I started a new 10 gallon small reef tank and transferred new coral to it and he appeared. Is this a Bristle?

you probably just got it as a baby hitchiker and it has grown up.

Awesome cuc, in a few months you should have a bunch of those guys all over you tank. I started out with 2 as hitchhikers, I now have 200+

Most likely a hitchhiker. I’ve had some introduced on live rocks or coral frags (leptastrea frag).
