I have some leg looking things in some of my live rock. They look like maybe a serpant star leg or something. I cannot get a picture that shows the detail. Im still trying to get a good one. Does anyone know what it could be??
 
Micro brittle stars :)

Thats what i was thinking. They just dont ever come out of the rocks so i can see them. Its nothing to worry about then.
 
No its nothing to worry about. I have them also. I can see little legs sticking out everywhere in my rock also. They come out to eat at night.
 
I saw mine sticking his legs out yesterday when I fed the tank. I haven't tried it yet but have heard you can cover the end of a flashlight with red cellophane and use it a couple hours after the lights go out to view the night life.
 
I just use a regular flashlight, but I will have to change to a red one when I get more fish. You see the BEST things after dark, truly.
I have tons of tiny little stars in my rock as well. Only rarely do I see the actual body, all I see are red and white legs.
