Found this guy when moving a rock today. About 3-4” across. Hoping someone can help me ID the correct species. Thanks!

There are so many special that it can be very difficult to identify, I’d consider it reef safe if that’s your main concern

Wasn’t really concerned about it. Was just hoping for an ID. I’ve tried searching through images online and can’t find any matches.
 
If you got live rock for the tank you can sometimes search local sea life guides from the area the rock was originally harvested from.
There are likely 100s if not more different types.

I got live rock from marcorocks, so the "Florida keys" area. though I also grabbed a couple of pieces of live rock from my lfs when I was first starting up, so it's hard to say it came from a particular source. I had several smaller brittle stars come in on a coral frag once too.
