I set my trap. They are still out I am 50/50 it does look like a brittle star but I don't think they look like this. And I tried to grab one and it srank which was wierd.

Because this tank isnt a reef I don't know if it's like the starfish you are thinking of.

and this is what it should be looking like round with lots of spines. But the ones in my tank are very flat

Yours is a temperate tank. That's a worm. You'll want to look at North Atlantic worms.

Look for worms articles by Ron shimeck , most of what I've seen if his on the net is from Oregon to Canada. and also poke our local wildlife sites. It should be Natuve to Baja to past big sur.
It's quite likely not a fish hunter just looking at the head.
