What is this? (picture)

[tmb22]

I've noticed some tentacles coming out of the crevasses and holes of my live rock. Something is in there and moving around at night. It doesn't move during the day, but when I check on the tank the next day, it is almost always in a different spot. I'm just wondering what it is and if it's a pest or not. Sorry, the pics are not the best.

Micro brittle stars, or Mini serpent stars or Hawaiian Reef Brittle Stars. They're good cleaners.
