Is this a bristle starfish? Came in on a plug, well two did. Should I add them to the tank?

Looks like a brittle Star. Good reef safe starfish.

Good to keep

Awesome thanks guys. So they stay pretty small then?

They might get to be 2inch's (maybe 3in) across with their legs stretched out, but the are one of the best members of the CUC imo. I love them and try to seed any tank I start up with them.

+1 on micro brittle
Theyre wonderful!!!
I even bought an actual brittle star and forgot about it until I saw his leg and had a semi freakout moment ahahaha

Love 'em. When I pull chaeto out I always painstakingly inspect it to make sure I'm not tossing any out. There's always at least one in there.

micro brittlestars are my very favorite reef creature
