what are these?

[outlazz]

i tried searching some but i couldnt figure out what they are. the first pic is pretty hard to see but the two "legs" look like the legs on a starfish but are not. any ideas???

the first one i beleive is a tiny brittle star. They live in rocks and catch stuff that floats by.

The second one is a small feather duster. He also catches stuff that floats by.

Both very good and if the tank is well maintained, they will spread and help keep everything clean

Those mini dusters are great filter feeders and will help to cut down on the excessive nutrients.
