A few ID's needed please

[Octoberfest]

I caught a few things locally so far this year and have not been able to get a solid ID on them. I know their basic names but was hoping that someone would be able to provide more detail.

Here we go...

This hermit crab stays pretty small, I haven't seen one larger than a blue legged hermit yet. Its legs are a tad hairy and it has redish brown bands on the legs. On the forward legs it has blue spots close to the body.

Here is a close up showing the blue spots in more detail

This next one I love. Its a bright orange bristle sea star but that's all I know about it. They don't get very large, maybe 2.5" across at max but most of the time they're 2" or smaller. You can find them on the underside of rocks. They don't stay out in the open or travel very far. They find a rock and get under it then don't move more than a few inches from that location.

Last one is a type of spider/decorator crab. Its about the size of the palm of my hand if you include its legs. It takes pieces of macro algae and sponge and makes a "suite" out of it. It replaces its camo on a daily basis. Never ate a fish or other invert only ate food that I gave it.

Not sure about the crabs but the Brittle looks like

The Western Spiny Brittle Star (Ophiopterus spiculata)

It appears as though that's a pacific only species but I could be wrong

Hey, that's an awesome looking brittle star. PM me if you want to round up some more and trade for frags!

The last pic im pretty sure is a decorated arrow stick crab...Kind of new to the trade but harmless. they should have 2 little hooks on the legs and like to hang upside down in caves
