Is it possible my brittlestars have bred?

I noticed some little, white 1/8 inch start-like critters on my glass. Is it possible that my brittlestars procreated?

The mini brittlestars are very prolific. I believe the white ones are self fertilizing, and the colored ones, split to reproduce.

My live rock is full of the tiny critters...and a few in my sump as well. I think they are pretty cool and just add to the diversity of life within the system. So far they seem harmless.
