Is this a pest?

My zoas havent been happy lately and i saw this crawling on some. Saw a few more in my tank. What is this and are they a problem?

Looks like a mini brittle star. I have quite a few in my tank and they don't mess with zoanthids at all. They're part of my cleanup crew. I'd welcome the addition if I were you.

+1. They are one of the good guys.

Good to have in the tank. I have a few in my tank as well.

I have literally hundreds of em. Micro-brittle starts. Harmless little creatures that will multiply on their own.
