Anyone know what this might be? (Again)

One Eyed Bunny

It's circular in shape, has 8 evenly spaced legs/ tentacles, and every few seconds it systematically brings one tentacle into its mouth, completely.

Very scary looking. We've had several of them appear in the tank over the course of, maybe, 4 or 5 hours.

I believe some sort of sea apple. They use those arms to catch food. You will see them fed the mouth with them. They especially like to open during rock blowing off time in my tank.

Enjoy them, they are not harmful in any way that I am aware of.
 
Definitely NOT a sea apple or a basket star. Most likely some type of "cucumber." Check out wetwebmedia.com and fishbase.org for a better id.
 
It is some sort of cucumber. You can tell by the specialized dendritical feeding "tentacles." They are quite different from the rays of a basket star.
