What is this?!

I spotted to very small arm like things coming out of a role next to an acan coral. unfortunately I can’t get a better video then this. Any idea? My first thought is a star fish hiding and just stretching its arms out but I’m not sure.

Most people upload to YouTube first then link the video.

Looks like micro brittle star arms to me, but it's hard to tell in that lighting for sure.

Good or bad?

Either a spaghetti worm or brittle star. Can you repost under white lighting?

Good! Great cleanup crew, though very rarely seen even if you have a ton - they stay in the rock work (edited to clarify what I meant )

It's definitely a brittle banded starfish. Great to have (you'll almost never see them except when they occasionally stick their legs out (they're mainly nocturnal).
