Could these be brittle stars?

[stanleo]

I only ever see them on a rock that I put in a few weeks ago, haven't noticed them anywhere else. I can see two or three tentacles moving and feeling around in a group in three different spots but I can't see where the tentacles originate out of the rock, just the ends of them. So I haven't seen the discs if they are in fact brittle stars. I hope you can identify them. They don't seem to be causing any issues for the two corals on that rock. A Kenya tree and a green hairy mushroom.

Well these are micro brittle stars, maybe not the bigger ones you'd buy in a store

Oh bummer, they don't get any bigger?

 

[Wolf89]

No. They multiply fast though

 

[Thaxxx]

Yes. I have hundreds in my rock. But none of them get big like the ones you would buy.

Oh well still cool though.
