I could not get a great picture because I was using my cell phone, but hopefully it will at least give somewhat of a visual. I've seen two in my tank and just want to make sure there is no concern.
I'll do my best to describe it... a first glance it looks like a tiny starfish with three of its arms and a flat side as if the other arms were not fully grown. Looking closely at it; however, it has the 3 obvious arm extensions and at the tail end are 3 more "arms" but they do not extend far enough out to form any kind of symmetry with the other 3 arms. You can recognize a front and back as the little guy always leads with the middle of the 3 large arms. It is white on the bottom and the top goes from white on the outside to a dark color in the middle.
I know its not a little brittle star as i have seen them in my macroalgae and nothing on the melevreef ID site is similar. I has such a likeness to a starfish but both of the ones i have seen have this "flattened 3 arm side." Any ideas?
It is in the middle of the picture.. again sorry for the bad quality.
