Tiny serpent star?

[Austin Weinerman]

This is the first I have noticed of this little thing in my tank. Its arms are super long, skinny, and have black stripes. It seems to be buried in the sand. I was thinking maybe a serpent star, but I could be wrong. Any ideas?

Have no idea. for some reason it looks dangerous to me . I found a tiny brittle starfish yesterday I was so happy to find it I let it be because I know they won’t do any harm .

I’m hoping mine is something along the lines of a brittle starfish. The only reason I’m worried it’s not is because its legs are so skinny and long.

Just looked up some info on them. Looks like that’s probably what this is! And you’re right, sounds like they are beneficial to have. Thanks!
