I have no clue what this is.

I have a new colony of green star polyp and there is something coming out of it. I have no idea what it is. When I walk up to look at it closely it darts back into the coral. It looks like a bristle worm but there's more than one. So more like a tiny brittle star but it moves way to fast to be one of those. It's white Grey and black or brown... stripes on the legs.... or antenea.... I'm not sure. I know this is very vague but if I can snap a picture of it I will... I just don't know if I can sneak up on it or not....

Brittle star likely.

Bristle worm, sorry. Not sure why when thinking bristle worm I typed brittle star.

After seeing pictures I'm even more certain.

But is there more than one in the see place? Like I've seen bristle worms before but never like this... not doubting you just wondering.... Because it's thicker towards the inside and very pointy at the tips...

Maybe the person whom it got it from had it "trained" before he gave it away? [LOL]
