Vermetid ID?

[Reefer37]

Anyone help ID that these are vermetid snails underneath my new ricordea? Just notice it tonight.

I'm not positive but it kinda looks like a couple bristle star legs

That thing still be alive after 2 coral dips? I'd love for it not to be a pest. Lol

Get some tweezers and pull it off then you'll know for sure and be able get a better picture

Please don't rip the brittle star's legs off.

It's a good member of the tank, as others have said. Micro brittle starfish

99% sure you guys are right. No harm was done to the star!
I'm gonna watch him and see how he does. He isn't gonna eat up all my microfuana and die like sand sifters, is he? I only have a 45g tank.

Totally different than a sand sifter.

He's a Florida, still newer to the hobby, so wanted to try the easier of the two. He's a really nice orange/purple, with a really bright neon green mouth. Pretty cool actually.

I love mine they have green mouths we feed it about every 2 days but not sure how he gets the food to the mouth
