Could this be a Brittle Star?

[Klbertin]

This started to show up a few days ago, only one arm and about one inch. exposed.
Now there are 6 or 7 arms that I can see, and they are out about 2 to 3 inches long
Any idea what they are, if it isn't a starfish?

Im assuming it does not move or retract.
NOT a brittle star.

It seams to be moving with the current. I don't think it is moving with purpose, although it has come out of that garden more today than yesterday or 2 days ago when I first noticed it

Im sorry, I don't know what a gorg is, and you say a softie (as in a soft coral?)

Sorry, gorgonian. Or perhaps a kenya tree. a soft coral. a fox coral is another soft coral.

still tough. youll have to eyeball what looks like Polyps at the ends of the stalks., it could be an algae too.

That would definitely explain how it survived the coral dip, I just picked this piece up a week ago, thanks so much from the both of you, on your responses.
