What in the heck is that???

On one of my new peices of live rock I saw (what looked to be like) 2 -3 tentacles or legs sticking out of a hole. Couldnt get a good look because it went back into a little hole pretty fast once the light came on. But it looked like long stringy "legs" were white and had some black markings. I will try my best to capture a pic once the lights are off a bit.
Any ideas what the heck it is?
Could it be a star?


HELP (I THINK)

Could be mini brittle star. I have some in my tank that hide everywhere and usually only see their legs sticking out of holes or cracks.

I agree, brittle stars. Check you tank out at night. I have 5 or 6 living in my live rock.
