Wierd worm on strawberry coral

[rkaragozler]

Woke up this morning and saw a bunch of these guys roaming around my strawberry cauliflower coral.
Does anyone now what it is? Is it safe or do I have to remove it?

i have no idea what it is but it looks very cool

I don't know either but it wouldn't hurt to take the coral out and dip it.

If you only see them when the lights are out they maybe a small type of brittle star.

Check some of the pictures in the link below.

I was reading post "serpent star ripped in half" and bizzaro linked a site. started reading the site it winds up it is a "Phylum Echinodermata > Class Stellaroida > Subclass Ophiuroidea" brittle star, then come back to see if any one else posted her and saw a link from Marrone started reading that site too. thank you all for helping me out, you too constantine.
Another job well done here on MR.
