What is this? Cross between worm and starfish.
I was hoping someone would know what this is. I tried looking it up but found nothing. looks like a cross between a worm and a starfish. Is this a type of bristleworm?

Serpent Starfish, harmless for the most part, sand sifter, scavenger.

Good for the substrate, good for the tank, unless it gets eaten first

 Woohoo, free star fish! I have at least 5 of these things hanging out in my rock. Never could tell what they were since only their arms were visible. This guy just happened to fall on the floor (from a small distance) when I took out a rock. Thanks for identifying it!
