Rock Hitchhiker

I just recently added a new piece of live rock to my tank and was looking at it today when I saw some odd legs / tentacles sticking out. Can anyone give me an idea of what this could be?

Brittle star

Yup, Brittlestar.

And Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Nice picture too. How big is it?

Thank you =) I'm not sure. I only ever see it's legs because it won't come out from the live rock

I have a very similar starfish. It's even got that same sort of black/grey banding. I love mine, but I have to look for him, he hanged out in the dark corners of my tank. He's never caused any issues or anything like that, so in my opinion you have a really good guy there.
